(From Blue's Perspective)
"I will sit next to Blue!" Ava exclaimed, holding my hand tightly. She was adorable.
I smiled at her warmly.
"You are not going to disturb Blue, right?" Evelyn asked.
"No, I never disturb her!"
"That's right. Ava never disturbs me," I said, chuckling. "You can sit next to me, Ava."
"Yes!"
I had no idea why Ava liked me since the moment she met me. Evelyn even said that Ava liked me more than she liked her parents. It was very unusual. Was it because I acted like her friend? But was this not the way people usually behaved with kids?
Lunch was served while we chatted. Dem talked very little as well as Merrick. Merrick sometimes joined our conversation when it came to matters he knew about and matters about Evelyn or Ava. And Dem almost did not utter a word if not gravely necessary. It was Evelyn, me, and Ava who chatted the most. I liked listening to Ava, so I always took her seriously so she did not feel left out.
