Two hours later Daphne was baking cookies, while Cas was staring at the screen of Daphne’s laptop.
“How do I turn it on?” he asked careful; Zoey was in the room. She walked towards him and pointed at the start button. “This button” she alisema polite. She was still shaking from Cas’ last move. She’d had no idea he could be that strong.
“Thank you” Cas said. He looked up with puppy eyes. “Is your shoulder still hurting?”
“I’ll live” Zoey alisema soft.
“It was not my intention to cause wewe pain. My first priority was protecting Daphne” Cas explained.
Zoey raised her hand. “Yeah, I totally get it. It seems our priorities are similar to one another” She stuck out her hand. “Truce?”
Cas frowned and Zoey did her best not sigh irritated. She grabbed his hand and shook it. “It means we’ll try not to fight anymore. For Daphne” she explained.
“For Daphne” Cas repeated.
Daphne turned around and her eyes were wet. “You guys are so sweet” she sniffed. “I knew you’d come around, Zoey”
“I’ll try my best” Zoey promised. She looked at Cas. “But wewe have to try and find out everything wewe can about your life”
Cas nodded quickly. “That goes without saying”
“Good. Are wewe done with those cookies?” Zoey asked.
“Yep, we’re all set” Daphne said. “You coming?” she asked Cas.
“Where are we going?” Cas informed.
“To the orphanage. These are for the children” Daphne said. “Hey, maybe we can take some of those muffins, too, in case we run short of cookies”
“Yeah, that’s a good idea” Cas said. “But I think I’m going to stay here”
“Why?” Daphne asked disappointed.
“Well, we don’t have to be together all the time, do we?” Cas alisema careful.
“No, of course not” Daphne alisema and the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped a degree.
“Maybe wewe should spend some time with your sister. I’m sure Zoey would like to be alone with wewe for a change” Cas said.
A smile appeared so fast on Daphne’s face that it was almost creepy.
“You are so considerate” she said, caressing his cheek. “That’s one of the many reasons why I upendo you” She kissed him on the cheek. Then she turned around. Zoey had already added some muffins with the kuki, vidakuzi and she was closing the box. She picked it up and followed Daphne outside.
