Langston was wide-eyed as he glanced between Mr. Turner and Aunt Karen.

Abigail, blissfully unaware, had been too preoccupied with her candy to notice anything amiss. But once the silence sunk in, she edged closer to Langston, “Brother, what’s wrong with Aunt Karen?”

Langston quickly clamped a hand over her mouth. “Uh… Mr. Turner, Aunt Karen, I’m going to check why mom hasn’t come in yet with Abigail!”

With that, he whisked Abigail off by the hand and darted out.
