.. all the signs were there.Mindy senses the rage building within you, and takes steps to deflect it. "I thought you knew," she repeats. "I didn't mea... to fool you."Too angry to speak, you just shake your head. You want to stop the cab, and tell her to get out and find her own way home. But slowly, your thoughts become rational. Somewhere, you muster up the necessary compassion to avoid an ugly scene, and you decide that you believe Mindy's story about not trying to deceive you."It's very late,. "Nalani scooted across the floor and sat close by his side. After a few seconds she lightly leaned her body into his and sighed. "Leon, I'm so incredibly proud of you..."Leon leaned over and kissed the top of her head, smelling the fresh clean scent of the soap in her hair. He put his arm around her lower back and hip, pulling her to him, and Nalani responded by sighing again and cuddling with him.Leon kissed her and looked up to see Ura smiling. Ura shifted her eyes to the spot on Leon's other. Aunty held me from my waist and kissed on my cheek and said softened her tone again as she came near to me, “Aunty loves you so much son.”“I love you too, masi.” She smiled after hearing my gentle words, I smiled back.
