As a new mother, Sienna felt a pang of sympathy at the thought of a child being separated from his parents. "Chubs, are you sure you don't want to keep Jasper with you? It's so heartbreaking for a child to be away from his parents for so long."

Mila reassured her. "We'll visit him during our breaks, and he can come to the frontier during his holidays. The actual time apart won't be as much as it seems. It's going to be alright."

Wendy chimed in, "It's good for him to stay here. There are plenty of children around, and it's always lively. There's laughter and joy every day, it's wonderful."
