Chapter143
“Hmm.”
“With Sam?”
Ashley said calmly, “No, I’m alone.”
Zark seemed to understand and remained silent. Ashley wanted to leave when Burke said, “Auntie, let’s fly a kite.”
Ashley refused, “I’m busy.”
Burke was disappointed, “Oh…”
Zark said, “Let’s go. We’re only two people.““I’ll watch; I won’t disturb you. Consider me Burke’s playmate.”
Ashley liked Burke. She didn’t want to be alone. She agreed. They chose a blue butterfly kite. Ashley had flown kites with Sam before. But this kite was large; they couldn’t manage it. Zark helped silently. They laughed happily when the kite flew. Zark’s gaze deepened. Ashley noticed and asked, “What’s wrong?”
