"Don't worry, papa! I'll be safe!" I reassure him

"Don't worry, papa! I'll be safe!" I reassure him. "Don't you trust the Cosgraves?" I ask him, holding my phone in one of my hand and patting Liry with the other.

"Of course, I do but you're leaving and I don't know when you'll be back." he reasons, looking concerned and woeful like an actual parent.
My mother didn't even bother calling me or anything. It saddened me. I couldn't say goodbye to her nor to my little brother.

"I know. . . but I'll visit from time to time, I promise." I said, sincerely.

"I know you will."

I smile at the phone. "You have Diavolo with you, so no worries." I said teasingly. He laughs lightly, a slight blush creepy upon his face.

"Yeah." he said after he was done laughing.

I was in Rune's room, she had gone downstairs leaving me here. I had decided to call my dad. I arrived this morning and I will be leaving Enchantra today. I had said all my goodbyes to my friends and family, except my mother and my brother.

I could hear shuffles coming from beside dad, it caught both mine and dad's attention. "Watch are you laughing about?" I heard Diavolo, I could tell he was smiling.

"Oh, gem here is like I won't be alone since you will keep me company." Dad tells him, using my nickname.

"She's not wrong." he laughs, cuddling my dad. Dad leans into his touch and share a kiss, while I'm here waiting for them to get of their little world.

"I'm still here and I would love to get some attention, please." I interrupt their almost love making session.

My dad glares at me for interrupting them. "Uh. . . sorry." Diavolo apologizes, getting into his senses.

"Can I speak to Adriel for a minute?" my dad asks.

"Sure, lemme just. . . head downstairs." I said, getting up and placing Liry carefully on the bed, leaving the room.

I walk downstairs and then look for Adriel, instead I find Rowan and Rune together, watching a movie. "Hey Rowan, do you know where Adriel is?" I aks him, coming into their view.

"He's upstairs. Why?" Rowan asks.
Seriously? I came all the way down here only to find out he's upstairs?

I could hear my dad's snickers from the phone. "It's just, my dad wants to talk to him." I let him know.

"It's okay, gem. Rowan would suffice." he tells me and I hand the my phone to Rowan.

"Aye, captain!" he greets him, saluting him in a playful gesture. He earns a laugh from my dad, Rowan then laughs along with him. Rune stares into the phone curiously.
