Too sensitive for meaningless friendships

While Sam and I headed inside, I told him what happened in the carriage on our way home. I sighed, recalling my son's harsh words towards Adam. Although I understood Law was simply concerned about Adam's welfare, his words still went too far.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to Law." Sam nodded reassuringly, but I shook my head sideways. 

"I'll talk to him and you talk to Adam," I replied in a knowing tone, making my husband frown. I stopped when we were by the door, facing him squarely. 

"Sam, Law is very upset and you two might end up arguing," I explained while squeezing his hand lightly. "It's not that I am saying you can't control your son. My point is, Law is still a child who needs coaxing, while Adam surely needs a little wisdom from you. Is that alright with you?"

My brows rose, waiting for his response. Fortunately, Sam didn't argue as he rocked his head lightly.
