Kai watched as Mika and Michael approached them. He was seated on a bench, next to Liam, when they finally arrived.
Kai smiled down at Michael, who followed his mom into the mall. He picked him up and set him on his lap, ruffling his hair.
"Uncle Kai!" Michael laughed. "The vampire followed you."
"Yeah," Kai nodded. "He does that."
"Is he weird?" Michael asked. "I thought he was nice."
"Yes," Kai laughed. "He's super weird. Like, really weird."
Liam looked over to Kai and sighed. He was not a vampire. He was not weird.
Okay. He was a little weird.
He was still feeling anxious over the situation with Kai before they left. He should have known better than to blurt out a stupid question like that and state that he was serious about it. He wished he would have brushed it off as a joke.
