After a brief, heartbreaking conversation, John came back outside and sat next to Milly. He had composed himself once again, trying to come off as calm and not at all scared or worried. "Your mom is staying inside. I think she's planning on making your favorite dessert later today." He told her with a small smile.

She looked at him and reached out to hug him. She felt bad that she didn't want to be around her mom, but grateful that he understood and took care of her.
John gladly pulled her into his lap and hugged her. "I'm here for you, sweetie. Your mom is too. I'm sorry that she is still very upset. I know that it bothers you but she is not mad at you. She never would be."

Milly nodded slowly. "I know... I'm sorry," she whispered.
John stroked her hair. "I know, sweetie. We'll come up with a way so you can be around people who have strong emotions. Okay? I don't want you holed up in your room forever."

She nodded again and buried her face into his shirt. "Me neither."
"We'll find you someone who can teach you." He murmured as he stroked her hair and gently rocked on the swing.

Milly was silent for a few moments before sniffling and looking up at her dad. "...I don't want to go back to school tomorrow," she said softly.
He nodded. "That's okay, sweetie. I don't think you're ready either. Maybe later this week or next week."

She nodded slowly. "...But then David will be alone," she considered softly.
