((( RHIO POV's )))
Kevin insisted on going to the zoo.
"Sure. Maybe on Saturday morning?" I said.
"With Mommy Ivy?" Kevin got really used to calling her that.
"...if she's available."
"Actually Dad, going to the zoo is mom's idea." I sighed.
She manipulated the child again about going to the zoo.
"Alright."
"Bye, Dad."
"Bye."
When the call ended, I was full of thoughts once more. Our family would impossibly be united again.
Jasmin already got another family. I let my bead bend down atop the desk. All of it was my fault. Jasmin might have thought I gave up on her first.
Everything became like that… …because I'm a fool. After office work was over...
"Deo, are you free tonight?"
"Yes, Sir. Why?"
"Please stay the night in the mansion. I need someone to talk to."
"Sure."
