I don’t understand why Mom is crying

Did I do something bad?

No, I was good today.

Dad is acting weird though,

And Mom is crying!

Mom is crying.

I go to lick her face to tell her I love her, because that’s what I always do.

She leaves, and I have a terrible feeling she’s not coming back.

Dad is acting weird.

Dad is acting weird!

I smell her tears and his cologne, but also I smell danger and fear, and I know something bad has happened.

I am suddenly scared of Dad.

He is acting weird.

And Mom was crying!

This is not good,

This is not good!

I crawl to my bed and burrow in the blankets.

I am very scared.

I am very scared!

Then Dad calls my name.

I slowly go to him.

I am scared.

He kneels down.

I lick his face.
