I quickly scanned the room, checking if there’s anybody there who can see us. I let out a sigh of relief once I was sure that there’s nobody inside the room but us.

“How did you two get here?” I immediately asked after giving them a tight hug.

“Well, you’ve been missing for so long. Mom. So, Cooper and I decided to come and find you,” Harper replied.

I had a hunch that it was Harper’s idea. She’s the bold one. I should have expected that from her. I shouldn’t have waited for a week before I made a move. This was all on me.

1 slapped my forehead upon hearing Harper’s words.

“Are you mad, Mommy? Cooper asked with pouty lips.

No. I’m not mad, sweetheart, I consoled him while gently caressing his soft, chubby cheeks. “But what you did was extremely dangerous. Do you have any idea how worried Gertrude and Robert are? They were blaming themselves, thinking something bad happened to the two of you”

They both bowed their heads and pouted their lips while thinking about what they did.

Tm sorry, Mommy. We were just worried about you. We couldn’t stay there and wait. What if something bad happened to you?” Harper explained.

“And if something bad has indeed happened to me? Then what do you think will happen to you and your brother?” I scolded her. I know that she only did that because she was worried about me. But I need her to understand that what she did was dangerous.

“Don’t scold her, Mommy. It was my idea. Please forgive us,” Cooper butt in, trying to take the blame for her sister.

Even if I wanted to believe it, I knew deep down that this wasn’t really Cooper’s idea. He was just trying to take the blame to protect his sister, hoping I wouldn’t scold her any further. It was a sweet yet reckless attempt, and my heart ached knowing they felt the need to cover for each other like this.

I let out a heavy sigh, trying to release the tension building inside me. Despite my frustration, I couldn’t stay mad at them for long. They were just kids–brave, stubborn, and too innocent to understand the real dangers of the world.
