The foxes jerked slightly at that and turned to him in surprise.
Abby continued before they could take and Neil was grateful.

Kevin looked at him and smiled softly.

He saw Andrew looking at him from his right side.
"𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥?" 𝐖𝐲𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝. 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜. "𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫," 𝐍𝐞𝐢𝐥 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝, 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐲.
Renee turned an understanding eye towards him.
Understanding, not sympathy.
"𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫?" 𝐖𝐲𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝. "𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥, 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮? 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐧." 𝐍𝐞𝐢𝐥 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐧, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝.
