I froze, then involuntarily laughed: — Are you crazy? Today is my wedding. With your brother! — Yes, I know… — his voice trembled, — but I can’t stand seeing you by his side anymore. It’s killing me. I shook my head sharply: — No. Stop. This is wrong. But he stepped closer and suddenly…

My son was playing in the sandbox when an unfamiliar woman came up to him and started saying something: shortly after, I heard my son’s terrifying scream 😱🫣 My son has always been the calmest and most reasonable child.
