Enzo panicked when he heard his father was leaving again. He got up from his bed and held onto Dimitri's arm. "No, no, no… dada stay," he pleaded.
Dimitri sat on Enzo's bed and tried to tuck him in again, "Baby I promise I'll be back tomorrow," he said, but Enzo was not budging, "Dada promise… love mommy and baby," he said in his pouty, whiny, pitiful voice.
Aurora heard them from the living room and decided to step in. "Enzo! Your father needs to be somewhere else, he needs to go to work. He promised to be back tomorrow. Stop nagging him," she sounded a little bit harsher than usual.
She did not like that Enzo was laying on the guilt too thickly. He had never whined this much before but he was trying all the tricks in the kids' book to get what he wanted. And it won't be good for her later being the person who would be left behind to do damage control.
"It's okay," Dimitri nodded to Aurora.
