They all sat on the couch in the living room. Alex’s mum had requested that they all come out for a brief talk.“So, Luna we were wondering if the boy can be raised here. I mean, it’s better condition, he will have everything he wants and would never lack anything,” she explained.Luna smiled, knowing where the conversation was leading and knowing what her answer was going to be.
