53 A fuvking kid

"Mum… Daniel is fine, okay?" He was quick to cut in. The two were still standing some meters away as they discussed. "We have to go now" 

Reluctantly, she got into the car. Daniel had sat in the back with Naomi so she sat next to Barton, on the Passenger's seat. 

Daniel leaned his head on Naomi's shoulders, his jaw hardening as he fought the unbearable pain. Naomi who had been looking out the window with a lost lqook in her eyes suddenly flinched on feeling the weight on her shoulders. 

She felt …weird just watching him from a close perspective as he closed his eyss in pain, his hair nuzzling against her cheek, his long lashes resting on his cheekbones. 

Marcy was staring at the pair through the rear view mirror without their notice and felt her heart flutter just like it did in the morning when Brittany and Royce had slept against one another while standing up.
