He winced a little at the sting of the vervain tainted water but placed his hand over hers and held it against his cheek.

she saw him wince and started to remove her hand

”It’s ok.” he said, still holding her hand and looking at her beautiful blue eyes. He would always heal and didn't mind the sight sting. He had felt much worse. Turning his head a little, he kissed her palm.

she smiled her small smile at the contact

He smiled gently back, lovingly.

She rested her head on his shoulder

He placed his hand on her back. ”If you really want to go see Evan, why don't we all go together?” he suggested.

She shook her head

A month passed and it was the morning of Laurabeths third birthday

Laura-Beth was very excited for today. She could barely stay still for a full minute.

Lysander watched their little girl run around, chuckling. ”And she hasn't had any sugar yet.” he smiled at Betty.

Betty suddenly had an idea " Laurabeth you want an early present" she asked

Laura-Beth stopped running for a moment before darting happily over to her mother. ”Yay! Presents!”

¨But you have to be good and sit down for a while¨ she said.

Laura-Beth almost pouted but nodded. ”Ok, mama.” she said climbing into a chair near her daddy.

”Happy birthday, precious.” he smiled, kissing her cheek.

She smiled and handed Laura-beth a white stuffed giraffe with grey spots

Laura-Beth squealed happily and hugged it’s neck excitedly.

”I think she likes it.” Lysander smiles and pulls out a small plastic tiara for Laura-Beth.

She smiled walking away kissing ly on the way

Lysander smiled and kissed her back. ”Here you go, sweetie. Princess for the day.” he chuckled as he put the crown on their daughter's head.

Laura-Beth laughed happily, adjusting the toy crown. ”Princess.” she smiled and looked at the giraffe.

Betty winced going to the kitchen she went to the kitchen pulling down bottle of pills she took about four different pills

Lysander heard the pill bottle rattle and gave a small sigh, wishing there was something he could do to help his wife.

she closed her eyes swallowing her pills

”Daddy? Is mama ok?” Laura-Beth asked.

Lysander smiled gently at the three-year-old. ”I’m sure she's fine. Probably just making sure everything is ready for your birthday.” he told her.

Betty made her hands into fists drawing blood with her fingernails the bloodrunning down her fingers

Lysander smelled the blood and stood up. ”I’ll be right back, baby girl.” he told Laura-Beth softly before walking over to Betty. ”Are you alright?” he asked.

she opened her eyes and looked at him and wiped away a tear with her clothed arm ¨Y-yeah¨

”You’re bleeding.” He shook his head a little and hugged her. ”It’s ok if you're not but I’d rather if you just tell me.” he said kindly.
