Lucianne turned and found a little Evie in a light green dress running towards her with opened arms. Lucianne didn’t have to think before bending down to scoop the little girl up.

“Hello, Evie. Where’s your mommy?” Lucianne asked with a smile.

Evie looked behind her and pointed, and Lucianne saw a frantic mother running in her way. Lucianne then looked at Evie and asked, “Evie, did you tell your mommy where you were running to?”

“Mommy knows.” Evie said with no worries or remorse.

Lucianne pecked a light kiss on the little girl’s forehead before she said, “Evie, next time, drag mommy along, okay? You don’t want to worry her, and you don’t want to be taken by bad guys, do you?”

“Bad guys?” Evie’s eyes grew wide with horror.

Lucianne’s soft but serious gaze peered into the little girl’s lilac orbs as she whispered, “Your mommy and Lucy can protect you from bad guys, Evie. So, you need to have one of us with you when you’re running next time, okay?”<
