How Long Do We Live For? - Remastered

Audrina unbuckled and got out.

Arthur got out with them.

“Isn’t this where your friend works?” Hunter asked.

“Yeah, it is, hopefully she isn’t working today.” He muttered

"You don't want her to see that you've gotten hurt?" Audrina asked softly.

“No, I mean would you want dad to see you if you got hurt?”

"You're father has seen me hurt a few times as I've seen him hurt. Things happen, Arthur. Would you like me to clean you up a little bit better before we go inside?"

“If that’s okay mum.”

"Of course it is," she smiled softly and opened the trunk of the car where there was a first aid kit and took out some wet wipes and other things to clean his face and sooth the bruising and scrapes. "It will only take a few moments. Are you ready?"

He nodded.

She gently cleaned him up taking care of each cut and bruise.

He didn’t seem to wince as she cleaned his face.

It didn't take long but she did notice that he didn't respond at all. "There. All done."

Arthur nodded. “Thanks mum.”

"You're very welcome. Now let's go inside."

He nodded and he followed them inside using his hands due to the lack of dog.

Audrina only walked a step or two ahead of him in case he needed her.

He followed her easily

Michelle smiled when she saw them come in.

"Where shall we sit?"

“I don’t mind.”

She led them to where they normally sat.

He sat with her

After they were sitting Michelle came over to their table. "Hello, how are you all this afternoon?"

“Quite well thank you,” Hunter told her as Arthur kept his head down in his menu

"What can I get for you all this afternoon?" she asked with a warm smile, glancing over at Arthur. "Hello Arthur."

“Hey Michelle.” He told her as he kept his head down using his fingers to read.

She glanced at his parents in confusion and mouthed to them 'Did I do something wrong or is he just that focused?'
