Chris: (sends it) now start back playing.
Madison: (starts the game)
Chris: Madison, how did you feel when your mom got married to Mr.Brian?(gets a chip)
Madison: (shrugs) Happy I guess? I don't really remember.
Chris: Is it okay to be a little sad?
Madison: (looks at him then back at the game) you're sad your mom is getting married. I thought you liked Trey?
Chris: I do..but. I like how our family is too. Me, you, my mom and our dad.
Madison: (smiles a little). I didn't want to be the one to say it. But me too Chris.
Chris: why you didn't want to say it?
Madison: because. Y/n seems so happy. She really loves Trey.
Chris: but she loves dad too. I heard her tell him.
Madison: really? When?
Chris: I left her on FaceTime with dad and acted like I left the room. I hid behind the couch And he said he messed up when he didn't say he loved her back the other night.
Madison: that sounds like a dad mistake.
Chris: will it hurt Trey's feelings if Mom starts back liking dad?
Madison: I'm pretty sure it will Chris.
Chris: (looks back at the game)
