248 The King is visiting

Shauna had heard the desperation in his tone. She knew the sole reason her had called her after explaining the situation on his end. The messages, she had read. But he didn't know that they were akin to niddles pricking her heart repeatedly because that scene she heard had been mentally tormenting her. She had lost sleep because of it. It hurt even more when she looked at her innocent boys.

How could Peter do this to their family? And he what? Missed her? Does that mean he regretted his actions? She did not trust her heart and could feel her eyes sting with tears. So she did what she thought was best in that moment.

"We miss you too Daddy!" The boys said in unison.

"Come back soon!" Kyle shouted.

"Dad, my next game is in three weeks. You will be there, right?" Kaden asked.

"Of course! How can I miss it?" He said with a chuckle. "Boys.... Is your mom busy?" 

"She kicked us out to dress up. We're late", Kyle answered.
