Was he thinking about his parents' issues? Mabel Quinn quickly replied, "Okay, I promise, I promise you, no matter what kind of arguments we have, I won't let you not be able to find me!" She regretted her thoughtless teasing words to death in her heart.
Of all things to say, she had to say that!
Her answer made him gasp sharply, then he pulled her forcefully into his arms, "I absolutely don't want to be unable to find you, absolutely not!"
"I won't, you won't be unable to find me, even if I'm angry with you, if I throw a tantrum at you, I'll make sure you can always find me. Didn't you say you wanted me to hit you, scold you? If you can't find me, how could I even do that?" She also reached out her hands, wrapping them around his waist, "Kyle, we'll be alright." There definitely won't be regrets like with his parents, or like Clover and Uncle Daxton.
Her voice, along with her embrace, was like gentle willow fluff, easing his anxiety and uneasiness, slowly calming him down.
