Broken Tablet?

"What's the trigger word again that my granddaughter told us?" Grandpa Caldwell asked, trying to remember the emergency word.

Little Mia, who found the adults' conversation boring, finally saw her chance to speak.

"I know, Gwandpa!" she declared, striking a heroic pose.

Everyone raised their brows in surprise.

But before she could say more, Poochi barked, interrupting her train of thought. Her attention now shifted to Poochi.

"Aw~aw~~awwww!"

'I also know.'

Seeing Poochi return only frustrated her. Poochi and Mimi had been playing nearby, leaving her alone with her mother in the medical house.

She knew Poochi was exercising, but to her, it felt like they were having fun without her.

She crossed her arms and gave a cute glare and said, "So you're back, huh? Good… good… you really left me all alone."
