Mum is sitting on a sofa completely lost in thought and dad is pacing about the living room restlessly like he just lost a big business contract. Whenever they are both in this state, Kyle and I are sure to get the scolding of our lives.
“Mum, dad, here we are” Kyle announces.
“Sweetie, are you okay?” Mum asks worriedly as she rushes to me and engulfs me in a warm hug.
“Yes mum, I’m fine”
“Thank you for bringing her safely” She says as she kisses Kyle’s cheeks.
