SUMIRE
Sumire laughed lightly. "Indeed, it is strange. I was worried about him going out a lot because of that. However, Hino spun the tale and simply said he is just more mature than most kids."
"Uh and that excuse worked?"
"Well, it had to. It's better than saying I gave birth at thirteen not sixteen. Sixteen already looks bad."
Miya sighed. "We live in such a judgemental society."
Seeing Satomi and Kyoko's eyelids drooping. Sumire picked them both up as she placed them in the crib. It didn't take long before they fell asleep.
'I'd take them upstairs. But, I don't want to leave them alone in a dark room.'
Huan peeked through the door. "Mom, Mom. The doorbell keeps ringing."
Sumire tilted her head puzzled. The doorbell? Did Toh forget his keys? He did leave abruptly. Still, she ought to remain cautious.
