The Scattering of Love
Upon hearing her voice, Mike’s brows furrowed in annoyance.
His tone held unmistakable disgust.
“Why are you still at home? Where’s your mom?”
Startled by the sudden scolding, Melanie flinched.
Her eyes instantly reddened, but even so, she carefully held out the family portrait she had spent an entire week drawing.
With a trembling voice, she said, “This is the family picture I drew. I wanted to give it to you when you arrive back at home…”
Before she could finish her sentence, just as the picture—filled with her love and anticipation—was about to reach Mike’s hands, a small hand snatched it away rudely.
