Brian hesitated. "Will you be okay with getting back yourselves?"
"Of course. We can walk home," Diana said.
"Yes, Dad Brian, I'm strong and powerful!" Abby said determinedly, hitting her chest like a gorilla.
Brian touched her face and said to Diana, "Call me once you are home."
"I will."
Thus, Brian got up and went to his car.
Diana sat with Abby to finish the pizza. Diana hurried Abby along as the light was fading; she didn't want to walk home in the dark.
They set off in the direction of their apartment. Abby was running and jumping around, playing games as she went. Diana watched her carefully. She followed close behind to ensure that Abby was safe.
All of a sudden, Abby tripped over and fell to the ground.
"Watch out!" Diana shouted in worry and ran to help her up.
"Mummy, I am sorry…"
"Be more careful next time, got it?" Diana uttered seriously. When it came to the topic of safety, Diana was always severe.
