Chapter 0293

She looked so cute and innocent as she slept peacefully and my heart hurt as I wondered what thoughts. the girl was harboring. Even if she did see something like those, what prompted her to draw them?

I shrugged as I tried to come up with some excuses that she could give to Amie. "You could say they scared you."

She looked at me, blinking. "Really, Dennis?"

"What?" I lifted my shoulders in a defensive shrug. "You could say that or you could just tell her that you were looking at her drawings when you were eating and they got stained or wet. It will work, trust me." She shook her head and I already knew she would disregard my suggestions. "Those are silly ideas." "You didn't even think about them."

"What's there to think about, Dennis?" She laughed and I was glad that she was back to her bubbly self. Trust me, even a five-year-old wouldn't fall for that. You know Amie is smarter than that."

I nodded, "Agreed. If you had stopped at 'a five year old", I would have begged to differ but Amie's different."
