''…..''
A short silence reigned over the two adults and two children in the room until a whine broke through first.
''Mum!'' Iona rushed to her mother. Her pigtails bouncing up and down until she stopped directly in front of the wheel chair. She looked up with misty eyes, hoping that her mother would not send her and her twin brother back home.
''Iona….'' Honey brown eyes met hers in all seriousness and warning. Such stare was scary for Iona as she knew no one other than her mother was the scariest person in the entire world to her.
'''….sorry...'' Looking down and feeling displeased, Iona grumbled with a pout.
Her ears caught the sound at an audible sigh until she felt a hand on top of her head. Lifting up her gaze, her sky blue eyes met her mother's.
''Good girl.''
Naturally, the frown on Iona's lips vanished at that word from her mother.
