“I missed you, child!” She sniffed and peeked at my shoulder. “Where are the little walking brains?” | almost guffawed at her word. | turned to my back and gestured my hand to ccloser to me. They all draw themselves together at Sky, wrapping their tiny arms around him as if it was dangerous to cforward.

“My, My! Look at you. | wondered if Mommy got a piece of her big brain in you,” She chuckled, opening her arms to them. “Good Lord, she must have prayed too much that heaven blessed her with three.” Everyone laughed, but | could only smile at what she said. She looked up and narrowed her eyes at Sky. “And you, young man, chere.

What happened to will-not-see-each-other-anymore?” She uttered in a hushed tone, although no one could really hear us. Hopefully. “And why are you leaving again?” | took a deep breath, glancing at Sky, still busy talking with Mrs. Antonetta, before turning my head on her.
“Sky's looking for Angela.” | shook my head. “I mean, he’s looking for me, and God knew what that man could do when he found out | kept my kids from him.” She nodded, her eyes pinned on Sky. “I guess he knew.” “I'm not sure, but whether he knew about it or not, I'm leaving with my kids. | won't let him take my children away from me,” | said, taking another breath.
She shook her head. “I think he won't do that. Just look at how he adores his children. And you,” she pointed out, “I don't think so.

“Just tell him,” She suggested as if it was an easy matter. | smiled nervously when Sky glanced my way. “I can't, Anya. | promised him no one would know about us, and | can’t get involved with anyone.” “Not even with Dylan? Geez, Angela, that guy has been waiting for you,” she said while unconsciously mixing the salad.
