As Roxanne’s ears burned, she pretended to stay calm and nudged Madilyn back before looking around.

“Where is he?”

The “he” in her question was self-explanatory.

Madilyn flashed a meaningful smile. “It seems to me that you’re worried about him too.”

Jolted by her friend’s words, Roxanne lowered her voice. “It was just a casual question. Didn’t you mention that the helicopter belonged to him?”

Knowing Roxanne like the back of her hand, Madilyn could see how embarrassed the former was. Hence, she decided to stop putting her in a spot. “Don’t be anxious. I’m bringing you to see him, aren’t I?”

The frowning Roxanne retorted, “Who says I’m anxious? I—”

Madilyn burst out in laughter.

The three children, who were engrossed in examining the helicopter’s design, came over curiously upon hearing Madilyn’s laughter.

“Aunt Madilyn, what are you laughing about?”

The puzzled Benny tugged at Madilyn’s sleeve.

When she finally forced herself to regain her composure, Madilyn eyed her friend’s reproachful expression before changing the topic smoothly. “Nothing, really. So, are you enjoying yourselves on the helicopter?”

The topic quickly caught the children’s attention, to which they nodded vigorously. “We are!”

At the same time, they divulged Archie’s secret. “Archie says that he wants to buy us a bigger helicopter next time!”

Madilyn burst into laughter again at the children’s innocent words. This time, Roxanne couldn’t help but join her.

However, when she saw the rare expression of embarrassment on Archie’s face, Roxanne suppressed her laughter as she gave his hair a tousle. “You’ll definitely be able to do it, Archie. Don’t forget to let me ride in it next time!”

Roxanne’s encouragement brought a smile to Archie’s face as he nodded obediently.

Beaming, Madilyn suggested, “There’s no need to wait till then. Your daddy already has a bigger helicopter. It’s just not suitable to fly within city limits.”
