“Then it’s settled.” Shimmer said with a grin. “Come on, we’re gonna get some food. I’m actually pretty hungry.” She said. “And you… I wanna see at least one smile from you be the end of the day, ok? This depression thing doesn’t really suit you. I know this hurts, but I promise, it’ll be ok, Sav.”
“I-I’m not depressed.” Savanna pouted and stood up, shuffling toward the door.
“Ehh.. ‘m not one fer sweets. Ya take care of my little girl, though, uh…” Joseph rubbed his chin.
“Shimmer..?”
“Ah. Skittle. Got it.”
“Well, then if you’re not depressed, then I wanna see a smile, and I I don’t, I’m gonna freakin’ tickle you so hard…” she said, gently poking the girl in the ribs.
“And don’t worry Joe… She’ll be safe with me. I’d die before I let anything or anyone hurt her.”
