PHOEBE
Fortunately for Loren and Jax, Pim was having a lovely nap next to Rhett, who absentmindedly scratched behind his horns, and Phoebe was engrossed in making a supper to feed a crowd and so missed the lowered volume of their voices amongst the din of cooking. But at his response, Jax’s eyes seemed to match the frown that curved his lips, sad and empathetic. ”What did you do?” he asked in a whisper still, glancing occasionally over towards the kitchen to make sure they wouldn’t be caught.
”Jax, we are not suppose to talk to people in time outs.” Cormac whispered dutifully to his brother. Jax looked between him and Loren, seeming to be torn about what to do. ”But he looks sad and hungry.” Jax whispered back to his brother, as if that alone was a perfectly good excuse. Cormac gave his brother a flat look though. ”He is in time outs, that is why he is sad.” Cormac whispered back, before looking back to his book.

When the static clears
And all is said and done
I will realize that we all need someone
