Stone Circle layaway

"I don't know, Sunny," he admitted, his heart twisting as he thought of how much more awful this must be for his kids. He hated to think of them missing Amber even more than he hated to miss her himself, and it didn't sit right with him that Sunny had to worry about Dawn like this - they were the same age, and they both ought to have a few worry-free months before they were expected to start helping out. They were growing up too fast.

"Of course we can," said Day, curling protectively around the two of them. "I don't want either of you to be sad. Is there anything I can do to make it better?" he asked, at a loss for what exactly he was meant to do. He knew he wasn't in the best state of mind to be taking care of children, but he could - he would - push that all aside and knuckle down. Still, what else could be done? Maybe Sunny had the answer.
