While Caleb led the way and Ivy followed right after him with Angel in her arms, Ryle and Daisy lagged a few steps behind.
When Ryle walked a little faster, Daisy matched his pace, despite having the small legs that she had. At least, when compared to his legs.
When he walked slowly, her footsteps slowed down as well.
Ryle was somehow amused, and inwardly speechless at her antics but he did not let it show on his face.
He did not want to let it show. His expressions remained frigid all the while even though he observed all her actions.
He did not want to give in to her this time even as his heart itched to pull her into his arms. He knew that if he gave in just like that, they would fall into that cycle again.
