Then Dylan drove to her house.
With Edwin there, the guards refused him entry.
He knew better than to force his way in, wary of frightening Leyla, the little girl who had already suffered much because of his actions.
That was when Laura returned and he stopped her car.
Laura exited the car and whispered to the driver, “Take the kids inside first.

The driver nodded, not daring to protest, and drove off.

As dusk deepened, Dylan remained alone by the gates, a ghostly pallor overtaking his face as the night wind swept away the last traces of twilight.
After dinner, Laura was occupied with helping her two children with their homework while her husband, Edwin, played with Leyla in the bedroom.
Leyla, clever as ever, knew well how much Edwin doted on her and took the opportunity to make various requests.
Dressed in her cute onesie, she lay atop Edwin’s stomach, advocating for wearing diapers to avoid bathroom trips during the night.
To make her case, she retrieved a large pack of unused diapers she had stored away when she was one.
Edwin found the situation amusing.
He examined the diapers, and then chuckled, “These were for when you were one.
You’re two now.
