Finally we arrived home. In London, we also live in the city center in beautiful large apartments.
– daaad, i'm home.
– Well, where did you go? — came the stepmother's voice on the stairs.
– why do you care? Where is Dad?
– I'm the only one asking questions here.
– seven years of marriage is not yet an indicator that you are the mistress here. Where is Dad?!
– He left, — Marie said with a smirk.
– for a long time?
– it doesn't concern you.
I went to my room and called my dad. He didn't answer. There was a note on the table.
– "daughter, I went to Venice for a couple of days on business. Be smart. With love, dad." — was in the note. — Well, at least he left a note.
I started my lessons, and after that I started to relax.
Knock.
– Come in, — I called out.
My seven-year-old brother Arthur came into the room.
– what are you doing? — he asked.
– watching TV series. Do you want with me? — I asked smiling.
– Yes!
– sit down.
He sat down on the bed next to me and hugged me. We always watch movies like this.
– Mom scolded you again ..? — Arthur asked softly.
– I don't want to say bad things about your mother in front of you, Arthur. She's just that kind of person.
– she screams at everyone ... I'm afraid of her.
– and yells at you?
He nodded.
– Dad is good, but mom is not…, — Arthur said so quietly that it was barely audible.
His eyes glistened with tears.
– don't cry... I won't let you get hurt.
It was already time for bed.
– Will you sing me a lullaby..?
– your favorite? — I asked with a smile.
– yes ...
– let's go.)
We came to Arthur's room.
– lie down comfortably.
– Will there be pictures?
– ... They will.
I waved my hand and live pictures appeared on the ceiling. They move according to the song. I took the guitar, sat down next to me and started...
(For those interested, the lullaby will be at the end.)
Arthur has already fallen asleep. I kissed him on the forehead and left.
Tom's pov.
All evening I was haunted by thoughts of Maddie. She is very fun and pleasant to talk to. Even a rich life does not spoil it, it remains ordinary.
– tuk tuk, can I?
– Come in, Emma, — I replied smiling.
– You’re kind of mysterious, brother, —she remarked. — Something happened?
