Their mother cupped Richard's face in a loved way thumbing his cheek with love "I knew you where not to blame, but I had to ask" she say kissing his forehead knowing Richard was grown up enough to understand he was never truly being accused of anything, it was more a formality than anything else. Her eyes moved back noticing her husband was gone, but she heard him yelling and Aaron cry out several times till both fell silent.

Seeing her husband move downstairs and towards the door she sighed "I'm sorry, but we have a breakfast with some friends that came up unexpectedly this morning, we will make it up to you when we return" she say kissing his head one last time "As he wronged you, and stole from you you are entitled to punish him so he will learn his lesson" she say handing him Aaron's room key "I will give him my share of his punishment later" with that she moved down the stairs and out of the house
