Scarlet Square was quietly weeping, but her gaze toward George was filled with resentment.
âMom, are you alright?â Joseph inquired with concern.

âWhy are you covering my mouth?â
âDad, just calm down first.â
Scarlet sighed deeply, her eyes filled with resentment. Trying to calm him down? Heâd rather push me again, wishing I wouldnât wake up!â
