One Mistake

The three adults froze on their seats as the air filled with overwhelming awkwardness. No one expected this young fellow’s thinking.

“Oh! Adam, what are you talking about?” Lira smiled palely while her eyeballs rolled at Adam giving him a meaningful sign. She was the one to break the awkwardness in the air.

Adam sniffed at Lira with eyes saying like, ‘What? I am helping you.’

“Adam, Aunt Lira had another boyfriend.” Arabella butted in without a deep understanding of what had Adam seen in the situation. Lira confessed that she had a boyfriend already so there should have been no other issue.

“Yes, Adam. I have a boyfriend already.” Lira quickly took over the pace. ‘And I don’t have anything to do with your Uncle Damien.’ She wanted to add but it was just trapped in her mind.
