Waylon sneezed twice in quick succession.

He wondered, using his intuition to deduce that it was probably his beloved Emmeline.

After he and his father had patched up the little troublemaker and sent her back to find Abel, Waylon knew that he was in for a scolding.

“Sounds good,” Abel nodded in agreement.

“I’ll meet you there at noon,” Adrien stood up and gave a wink to Emmeline. “Remember to bring Emmett along so you don’t have to worry about leaving him behind.”

“Of course,” Abel agreed, knowing that he wouldn’t want to be away from the little guy for even a moment.
