When Did You Get So Big?

Mark decided that he would deal with that situation depending on how it presented itself. Mark couldn't lie to Pat for too long; Pat was too smart for that, but that doesn't mean that Mark was going to allow Pat to reveal Arit's real identity either. And Mark knew that if Pat asked his sister to keep Arit's role in those deaths a secret, then she would most likely agree. Mark just had to play his cards right!

Mark yawned as he left his room and slowly went towards the kitchen. Talia had been sitting on the kitchen counter and watching Arit as she cooked, but once Mark stepped into the kitchen, Talia jumped down from the counter and ran towards him! Mark grinned and easily caught her when she jumped at him before raising her up into the air!

"Big Brother!"

"Hey, Talia. I feel like I haven't seen you in years! You've grown so big!"

Talia chuckled cutely!

"You dummy! You saw me two days ago!"
