“Why don’t you take your baby sister and go watch tv in the other room?” The giant red haired man spoke softly but Rhydian tensed. His innocent eyes darting up to meet mine and then he turned his face fully towards Amelia.
For a second she didn’t look at him. She was staring intently at the giant of a man in front of us. His wide shoulders seemed to take up the entire hallway.
“It’s ok Rhydian.” Finally she smiled down at him. “I would really like it if you could look after Ffion whilst the grown ups talk.”
Smiling sadly I let my fingers squeeze his shoulder. I knew why he was suddenly worried about leaving her . Having her out of sight meant she could leave again.
I knew what he was feeling because I was struggling against the same despair every time she was out of my eyeline.
