Emma walked slowly with Henry in her arms , unsure of where to go . The day had been a whirlwind of emotions , and she needed somewhere to gather herself . The only place that came to mind was the amusement park the very one she loved to visit since she was a child as she thought it might help calm her down . As she walked through the park , she noticed Henry seemed tense . His silence made Emma uneasy , and when she glanced at him , he avoided her gaze . She frowned , wondering if it was because of her outburst earlier . She had raised her voice , and now , he seemed afraid of her . The realization made her feel a bit guilty . She slowed her pace and crouched down to his level , her voice gentle . Do you think we look scary when we argue ? He didnt answer right away , but his eyes flickered up to meet hers for a brief moment . Emma smiled softly, hoping to reassure him . Hey , its okay , dont be scared , she continued , kneeling down to his level . Sometimes families argue . But we always forgive each other , because thats what family does . She gave him a warm smile , trying to reassure him . His expression softened slightly as he met her eyes , though he remained quiet . Emmas heart gave a small flutter of relief , but she knew she had to try harder to comfort him . I know its scary sometimes , but youll see things will get better . Trust me . Taking his hand gently , she led him to the swing set . You know , this is the second most favorite thing I like , she said , her voice light and friendly . I love the swings . They make me feel free . Henrys eyes flickered with curiosity , and he followed her over to the swing . Slowly , he seemed to relax , his body language no longer as stiff as before . As he began to sit , he asked Emma softly , What then is your first most favorite thing ? Emma smiled and pointed toward a distant treehouse and slide . His eyes lit up as he gazed at the tree house . Sensing his excitement and interest , she explained with a gleam in her eyes . That tree house was my secret base . I used to play there all the time when I was younger . Its the perfect place to hide away and be free . How about we go there together ? With a look of eagerness , Henry nodded , and they both happily began to walk toward the tree house . As they climbed the ladder , halfway up , he suddenly froze . His small hands gripped the rungs of the ladder tightly , and his face turned pale . I … Im scared . I want to get down , Henry murmured , his voice shaking .
