Rosemary pov
I sighed as I sat on the backyard porch. I recalled Saffron's departure earlier in the day. He had hugged Dahlia, his, siblings, and me before departing.
The kids and I had cried. Dahlia looked like she might too, but she held her tears in.
I gasped as I saw my big brother flying toward me with three kids by his side.
"Hey, Rose!" Tasuku yelled, waving at me.
I smiled and waved back. "Brother! What are you doing here?" I paused as I realized he was technically also Milo, meaning this place was his home.
He sighed. "I heard what happened from Dad. It seems our country might be going to war. I came here to keep an eye on you."
I frowned. "Dad sent you?"
He laughed and rubbed the back of his head. "Actually, I volunteered when I heard that you're usual protectors would be off in the frontline."
Figures. Father wasn't the type to worry about me...
