Martin stared at her. That little assho- he thought but was interrupted by Ruthie.
"Yeah he did. Why didn't you tell me?" She looked at him, sparks of worry flickering in her eyes.
"Ruthie…" he squeezed her hands. "I'm really sorry. I really really am."
"It's ok. It's ok. No need to be sorry. You loved that cat a lot. I understand. I really do." She wrapped her arms around him and gave him a hug.
"Cat?" What the? He looked at her and she nodded.
"Your aunt's cat."
"Oh, that cat." He put on a sad face. "I really loved that cat." He sniffed and wiped his nose.
"Aww baby. I'm sorry. If you don't want to talk about it, it's fine. I understand." She squeezed him tightly. "Let's go home ok?"
He nodded and they made their way home.
They walked into the kitchen to see Simon sitting there with the twins. He stood up. "Ruthie, can you go get the boys washed up for dinner?"
"Sure," she smiled and took the twins. "C'mon,"
Once they heard the footsteps fade, Simon turned to Martin. "Please tell me you went along with it."
Martin nodded. "I was confused for a second there bu-"
"Good," Simon said, cutting him off. "You so owe me one dude. I was this close," he put his index finger and thumb about 2mm apart. "From telling her the truth."
"I know. I'm sorry you're in the middle of this but I'll tell her soon."
"Well you better coz I'm not gonna lie to her about it anymore. She really needs to know what hap-"
"Tell who about what?"
Both boys turned around to see…
