FLORENCE'S POINT OF VIEW
"It seems like you guys are having fun here. Mind if I join you?"
I swallowed a lump. The familiar feeling of fear that I felt when I met her for the second time came back on my system, and I loathe it.
I heaved out a sigh turning my attention at her. She's smiling from ear to ear while looking at us... on me to be specific, but I know better than that. Her mere presence alone is sending me warning bells.
Zyair suddenly hold my trembling hands. I look at him and forced a smile. I don't want him to get worried of me.
"Good evening, Mom."
I'm glad that he broke the heavy silence reigning on us.
Madeline turned her attention on her son. "Oh, my dearest Zyair! I thought you won't be coming here for tonight. I'm glad that you did. And it seems like you also brought home.... a visitor."
