I followed Amber to where Lea was quietly standing by, watching us both with curious eyes. I was shocked to see that Lea had overcome a great deal of shyness since we last met not too long ago. She slowly walked up to me and waved at me a “hello”. I knelt down and decided to softly shake her hand in compliance to her greeting.
“Nice to see you again, Lea.” I softly told her.
Lea saw me take her hand and place it in mine while pushing my thumb just on her small palm, and proceeded to move it up and down with a kind but firm grip. I felt her grip harden slightly in retaliation of my handshake. Smiling while staring at her emerald eyes I quietly told her: “You deserve so much more Lea. I promise you; very soon, I’ll give you everything you will ever need in life. I promise.”
