Mommy’s about to conduct an interview. You must be patient and wait for me, alright?”
“I understand, Mommy. I’ll stay within your sight.” Melon lifted his head and playfully thumped his chest,

“You’re hesitating because of your youth, aren’t you?”
“No,” came the reply, measured and calm.

can.” Melon looked at him seriously.
