I was a little taken aback by Finnick’s serious request. His face appeared timid, yet his tone was solemn, much more sole than a child’s should have been. As I studied his expression, I felt ashamed of myself for borderline neglecting my son thes days. I’d been so immersed in this undercover business that I didn’t have much time to talk with Finnick, aside from our daily goodnight kiss.
When I shifted my gaze, I realized I’d left Helene’s map on the table not too far away.
“Okay, honey,” I agreed. “I just need to do something really quick, okay?”
Finnick nodded politely, and then I moved forward and folded the map up. I stashed it aside, and once it was gone, I gestured for Finnick to join me.
“Come here, baby,” I urged him, and after I took a seat, I extended my arms out to him. “Would you like to sit in my lap?”
My son nodded and then gave me a little smile. He climbed onto my lap and I held him close. I ran my hands through his dark hair and then stroked his cheek affectionately.
“I’m sorry for interrupting you, Mommy,” Finnick apologized as he leaned into my touch. “Aunt Erika said you were busy these days, so I shouldn’t bother
you as much.”
“You could never bother me,” I insisted. “Ever. I’m always here for you, honey. Now, what did you want to tell me?”
I continued to pet his hair as he remained silent, and then he gathered the courage to speak.
“Is Lila going to die, Mommy?” he wondered quietly.
I was instantly surprised by this question as well as his saddened tone. “Why would you ask something like that, baby?”
“Lila told me her disease was incurable,” Finnick answered, and his sterling eyes fell downward.
I lifted his chin and shook my head. “That isn’t true, Finnick. Lila is getting better with every passing day. She was sick with pneumonia, which is extremely curable. She’s going to get better soon.”
But Finnick shook his head. “Lila told me that there was something else in her body that she couldn’t get out, and it’s devouring her and her mother day by day.”
My eyebrows shot up as I tried to make sense of such words coming from my five-year-old’s mouth.
