Chapter 272. I'm Not Mad

Olivia was blanketed in silence, her fingers stiff as claws in mine as we stared at the child who had his back to us, laughing loudly as Axel pushed the hammock like a swing, as far as it could go.

He shrieked when the hammock rose high in the sky, and laughed as it descended. 

“Colt?” Olivia’s voice came out trembling.

Axel turned to us then with a smile, still swinging the hammock, likely to keep the child’s attention away from our approach.
