The air in the room was so thick it felt like words would choke before leaving the mouth. Dominic looked like he was vibrating, his hands shoved deep into his pockets to hide the shaking. A part of him wanted to throw Sunshine out and keep her away from Ala but this was her base and she had handed Ala to them.
He did not want to risk getting on her bad side lest she take away their daughter.
When Ala skipped into the living room, the tension shifted from nervous to full-blown Panic.
"Is this about the test tube that I broke in the lab?" Ala asked, her voice small. She looked between her parents' stony faces for a cue. " Professor Chloe said that I do not have to pay for the test tube. I also didn't overload the new particle accelerator, that was all Doctor Sing.
Also, Professor Nero was the one that suggested we freeze some Levias marrow, honey, peanut and chocolate ice cream in the cryogenic chamber. Blame my mouth for being curious about the taste."
