But Cabana's lovin must take a back seat to his duties as Chaperone!
Because Ari and Fawn are home from school, and Cabana instantly knows that they need scolding for arriving so late to class!
Oh poor Cabana just hates this part of his duties! But not as much as Ari and Fawn are going to hate it!

"You are in Big Trouble young man! You better not do that again! Maybe you should help around the house to get on my good side!" says Cabana

YIKES! Cabana is not like Dad at All! "I'm sorry Cabana" Ari says meekly, ''I won't do it again.'' he quickly takes out his homework and gets busy!
Cabana turns to Fawn, who luckily was already doing her homework!

"You are in Big Trouble young lady! You better not do that again! Maybe you should help around the house to get on my good side!" says Cabana, but obviously he goes much easier on Fawn seeing that she is so terrified she has to shut her eyes because to her, anger is just so scary!
https://i.imgur.com/0EMDlNf.jpg
Fawn can't even say she is sorry, she is so scared, her head is buzzing, her face white, hands cold, and hairs on her arms and head standing up. "ok" she whispers looking down, afraid of what his face might look like!
https://i.imgur.com/nKO8ZFU.jpg
"That was so awful Ari" Fawn whispers to Ari, her voice hitching.
"I know, maybe let's wait to talk with my Dad, about earlier." he pats her hand, gives a comforting squeeze. geeze she's like ice.
"thank you." poor Fawn shudders.

'I'll make you some hot cocoa, love. Do you want your sweater?" Ari asks tenderly.
Fawn nods, that would be good.
Cabana is worried. That is not a typical reaction to a scolding, Fawn's reaction makes Cabana fear of what could have possibly traumatized the poor kid to have her have such a reaction.. For pete's sake it's not like he is some sort of a monster! even in angry yelling, his voice isn't loud as some, like Don, who's voice is like listening to some one shouting in a mega phone. Cabana wonders what it could be? He realizes some kids are just more sensitive, but this is almost over the top. He wonders if she would be better off at home. he will keep on the alert.
Tristan went home with his sister Emily today. It is great to catch up with Pops and Waylan! He does his homework with his sister like old times, they love to commiserate with one another! :)

Ari scrubs down the shower.
https://i.imgur.com/6J6xdnf.jpg
Cabana did notice Fawn cleaning! He tells her "good job!" and lets her off the hook!
https://i.imgur.com/SX8r23j.jpg
"Say, Fawn, I'm sorry my scolding frightened you, that wasn't the intent, I want you to know..."
https://i.imgur.com/BJwAfet.jpg
Cabana continues " I've been meaning to ask, Are you not comfortable here? Would you rather be at home with your parents, dear?"
https://i.imgur.com/dADDwcx.jpg
"No!!! please don't send me back!" pleads Fawn. Cabana worries that she looks frightened again, desperate almost.
"I promise to be good, Cabana, really!" Cabana see the tears spark in her eyes.
https://i.imgur.com/qaUfjRj.jpg
''Heyy shhh It's ok Fawn, it was just a question, please don't worry" soothes Cabana...gee what in the world?
https://i.imgur.com/SGHlh75.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/5NQjckB.jpg
They chat for a bit and Cabana ventures, "Fawn, you can always come to talk with me, about anything. You are safe within these walls, I want you to know that. This is a safe place." Cabana tells her.

Luc overhears a bit, and wonders if Ari knows. 'Gosh Poor Fawn!' he thinks. He really loves his best friend Ari and his gf too! He wonders what happened today when they both came to school So late...maybe a lovers quarrel?
He shakes his head. "Not my business!" He is always sure to follow his Da's advice to stay out of others drama, unless asked or an emergency!
Thank God for Da! He is the most mellow, most talented, smartest guy he knows! Luc goes off to practice his painting. He wants Oscar to be proud of him! also he wants out of the intense vibes in here.
https://i.imgur.com/c3nBcGJ.jpg
"hey babe! Wow that is Nice!" he says to Leelu
https://i.imgur.com/PQY8gSJ.jpg
"Thanks honey! Guess what! I got to level 2 just now!" she replies proudly to Luc. Luc give a whistle in appreciation.
https://i.imgur.com/pZvv9GA.jpg
Ari has been busy cleaning and sprucing up the place! He even brushed his teeth, thinking that would help!
https://i.imgur.com/Vqr2fXL.jpg
Cabana notices and gets the urge to "let him off the hook!"

Fawn seems to have found a great confidant in Marigold. When she complains about school, Marigold already seems to know she cut morning classes with Ari!
https://i.imgur.com/IoGVa4s.jpg
Fawn really likes her! they share recipes, their star signs are compatible, Fawn feels like they are kindred spirits!
https://i.imgur.com/Mx9Fo3F.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/SqGi2Nc.jpg
they talk about everything.
https://i.imgur.com/4ic3dPD.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/A3SUeA3.jpg
Fawn asks her to sleep over. It's nice for Fawn to have a positive female adult in the house, that she can talk so easily with, that seems to understand her! Fawn is dying to tell someone about her secret with Ari,
"Marigold, Ari and I are engaged!"
https://i.imgur.com/llFEsBL.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/xswpgOb.jpg
"oh honey I am so happy for you! You must feel like you are on cloud 9!" they embrace "What are your plans? It must be hard to make plans being in such a state of Bliss!" says Marigold.
https://i.imgur.com/eUqm6PL.jpg
Wow how does she know my feelings?! I'm so glad she gets it! thinks Fawn
"I was hoping for your advice, Marigold what would you do if you were me? ''
https://i.imgur.com/Z4F5NIZ.jpg
'' Knowing that I've wanted to marry Ari since I was a little child" laughs Fawn, remembering her little girl wishes for her shining knight.

She shares how she was always So frustrated and Mad that her parents would pooh pooh her every romantic feeling, and then they'd end up yelling at her for not being reasonable! Especially Dad, he would become so frustrated, and enraged! Telling her she was illogical, childish! That her feelings were Not feelings of love but merely puppy love! He'd yell, looming over her, shouting with a Red Face! Then it would end in a spank and grounding her. It was such a terrifying and infuriating ordeal.
o. boy. Marigold tries to choose her words wisely, this seems a tricky, delicate situation! She wishes Cabana were in here to help, with his nurturing abilities! But Fawn had closed the door, she wanted a private talk.
"The decision, of course is yours, Fawn, but if it were me, let's see, I would want to wait till I was older, things are just a bit easier then, they seem to flow, and everything can more naturally fall into place. It allows you time to grow together. I like to think of it as a Gift of time!'' Marigold smiles warmly, and continues
''You don't actually need to be saved anymore, honey, look where you are! safe, here with your love and your friends who care about you!''
https://i.imgur.com/tCncOis.jpg
"There is nothing to fear, here. No one denies or belittles your feelings, why would they? They are Your feelings. So there's no need to run away, or do anything drastic to make a point." says Marigold.
https://i.imgur.com/V2lisTD.jpg
Fawn is softly crying, so relieved to hear this, she never had an adult validate her feelings before.
She feels spent, exhausted, relieved, like Marigold had turned a tiny spout in her heel to allow all the pent up emotions to flow away. She feels at peace in her heart.
Marigold sees the relaxation, and hugs her warmly. gee poor kid. She holds her with compassion for as long as the young one needs.

Fawn looks into Marigold's smiling face, with awe. This is the woman I want to grow up to be like, she thinks.
https://i.imgur.com/bltP3EC.jpg
"Thank you Marigold, for listening to me. Thank you for the chat."
https://i.imgur.com/hDyDH4T.jpg
"My pleasure, I really liked how we could share. I like you, Fawn, just as you are, you know. You are really special."
