"I'm sorry I didn't ask you, brother." Clar smiled at him, "don't worry, you won't feel lonely here. I will be here to check on you every day, okay?"
Lyre blinked but nodded.
"This is your room." Clar's mom opened the door with a smile on her face.
Lyre stood, shocked as he watched the mother. He was trying to understand why she was still smiling after catching him in her son's room.
This wasn't how his mom would have reacted.
If his mom was the one who found him with a boy who was not one of his brothers, she would have long whipped him with the purple cane.
"Come on, let's check your room out!" Clar tugged him towards the room.
Lyre didn't protest as he followed them in. He figured there was no way for him to escape.
"Wow." Clar peered around the room the mother hurriedly prepared for him, while Lyre stood at the threshold, and glanced around the room.
The mixture of colours in the room awed him. It was so unlike the one he saw in the room with that handsome boy.
