When His Eyes Opened

“Why’s her phone off?” Avery mumbled softly to herself, then walked out of the house.

“Are you going out, Avery?” When the nanny saw her on the move, she quickly followed behind her.

“Tammy said she was coming over but she’s still not here yet. Even if there’s traffic, she should be here by now.” Avery walked past the front gates and looked around.

The nanny comforted her and said, “Maybe she’s gone to buy presents! She always brings all kinds of presents when she comes over.”

The nanny’s consoling words made Avery relax slightly.

“It’s windy out here, Avery. Let’s get back inside!” The nanny was worried that Avery would catch a cold. 

“Mr. Foster especially asked me to take good care of you and not let you get sick.”

“I stay at home every day now. I’m like a flower in a greenhouse. I’d get sick easier that way.” 

“You still shouldn’t be out here in this wind!” The nanny helped Avery back into the house.” It’s easy to get sick when the seasons change.”

“Is lunch ready?” Avery asked.

“It is. How about you eat first? We don’t know when Tammy’s arriving yet!”
