"Oh, he said there's a dinosaur theme park opening over here in Whaldorf City, and Tina and Munchkin were interested in going before this. They want to meet up to go to the theme park together."
I replied casually, flipping open the book in my hand, but I still noticed that Theo, who was beside me, had stopped wiping his hair out of the corners of my eyes.
He looked at me seriously. "They're going tomorrow?"
I suddenly realized that the problem seemed a little serious and immediately put away the book. "The specific time hasn't been set yet. They just told me that they'll be arriving tomorrow. I promised to bring Munchkin along and pick them up
from the airport. It's fine if you're busy with other stuff..."
I spoke in a smaller and softer tone. The clarity of my speech was getting lower and lower too. It was also at this time that I suddenly realized that it seemed like I had forgotten to take Theo into account for this matter.
"Then I'll ask Keith to accompany you," Theo said coldly.
Remembering what had happened before, I did not refuse.
I knew it was a concession from Theo. Otherwise, he would not let me go.
If it were not for the fact that it was Munchkin's best friend and it would be rude for us as parents not to show up, I was convinced that Theo would not even let me go.
On the afternoon of the next day, Munchkin was so energetic that he did not even sleep properly the night before and dragged me to the airport early, asking me to accompany him.
Theo did not delay and sent Keith over in advance.
When I arrived at the airport, there were still two hours to go. I took a look at my watch and guessed that the plane had not even taken off yet. Even so, the little guy had already started fussing.
After waiting for a long time, I felt a little bored. Munchkin was still excited, so I did not care too much about the time.
When I was bored and reading a magazine, I suddenly heard Munchkin shouting." Pumpkin!"
After that, he ran out in a flash. I got up in a hurry. There were so many people at the airport. What if I lost him?
