The school gate was no longer full of buzz. One by one, children were picked up by either their mother or father. Soon, only the twins were left waiting for their mother.

Earle didn’t want the two children to wait any longer. He decided to send them home.

Eliana however followed them all to the Pierce family’s house.

“Thank you, Mr. Moran,” Adrian and Aileen said almost simultaneously. “We’ll enter the house first.”

At the door, Earle gathered the twins in his arms and bid them goodbye.

When Earle had left, Eliana came out from her hiding place.

Seeing her, Adrian frowned and asked, “Mommy, you’re back home! Why didn’t you pick up us?”

Eliana lowered herself to meet her son’s eyes. “Well…”

She found it hard to find the words to explain herself to her little boy.
