Shocked, everyone turned to see what Luka had seen that made him scream and jump like that. Sunnie had expected to see some kind of monster or something.
But rather, she saw Maren.
Little Maren had jumped out of the bag and was now running toward Sunnie. "Mama!" she called with a bright smile as she rushed to hug Sunnie's legs. "Mama, I miss you!"
Sunnie stared down at her, shocked. "You... what are you doing here...?" Sunnie bent down to meet her face, running her hand through her hair while staring at her face with a soft smile. "Why are you here?"
"Mama, I want to go with you," she said in her inconsistent tone and choice of words while staring at Sunnie with her big blue eyes.
Sunnie smiled as she stared at Luka, who was getting up to his feet. "Is that why you got in there?"
Maren nodded.
"How did you even think of that?" Sunnie smiled. "You mischievous little one." She slightly pinched her nose. "You know it's dangerous. You can't go with us."
