"Now that Liam is not with you and I am here, depend on me more." Lennon patted her back.
Rory leaned on his chest. He was warm. She has many people around her who love her. And yet in this issue, she always felt alone. Lennon is the only one telling her what she wanted to hear the most.
"You will ask me if you need anything, right?" he asked, this time in a slightly authoritative tone.
"Yes, uncle. I will." She looked at him with a happy smile. And seeing her smile, Lennon's face softened.
"Tomorrow, we can meet the District Attorney to get bail for Liam, alright?" he smiled.
Rory was frozen as she stared at Lennon.
His eyes... they are very... Were they this way always? How did I not see this till now?
