Jordyn shook her head and said, “She picked up.”

Trevor held her in his arms, gently rubbing her temple with his thumb as he gazed at her eyebrows and eyes that resembled his own. “She picked up, but you’re still not happy?”

Jordyn furrowed her little brows. “I’m happy, but…”

She hadn’t spoken to her mom in so long. Now that she had finally called, she was indeed happy, but….

Trevor asked, “But what?”

Jordyn mumbled, “But I also feel a little unhappy.”

“That sounds pretty deep,” Trevor propped his chin up and chuckled. “You probably just miss your mom since you haven’t seen her in so long. Once she’s done with work she’ll spend more time with you.”

Jordyn nodded, but she still pouted. “But Mom is so busy. She said she won’t have time for me until next month

“Then we’ll wait together until next month, okay?”

“Okay.”

Jordyn was getting sleepy. After chatting for a bit longer, she yawned, climbed down from his arms, and went back

to her room to rest.
