"But... I wanna ride on Griffin's shoulders," Gabriella added after a moment, peering up at Griffin with large bluegrey eyes. Erastus blinked, then smiled and nodded, carefully kneeling down and letting Gabriella stand shakily on the ground, holding on tight to his shoulders.
Griffin stammered slightly, blinking, about to insist that she stay with Erastus. He didn't like how fragile she looked in the chilly air. Mildred glanced at him, a softness in her face, and she lightly pressed Griffin's upper back to push him towards the two. Finally, he moved over and knelt down beside Erastus, letting Gabriella climb onto his back, his hands automatically going to hold her legs in place. It was a bit awkward at first, but after a short time he got the hang of it, and straightened up with a smile.
"Thanks, Griffin," Erastus chuckled, lightly hitting his shoulder and rolling it. "My back was starting to hurt a little. Gab is heavy!" he joked, and got a weak kick to the side from her, making him wince and chuckle. "Just kidding."
Mildred smiled, watching the three siblings interact with a warmth stirring in her heart. "Well! If everyone's ready, I'll lead the way to the kitchen. There will be lots of things to do, I'm sure! And lots of things to taste test," she added, smiling at Gabriella and winking as she passed, leading the three back towards the kitchen.
But there will come a time
You'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart
But dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see
What you find there
With grace in your heart
And flowers in your hair
