Layla nodded as she took it all in.   "I take it you're not going to move again? " she asked, wanting to make sure she wasn't going to lose her best friend just like that.  "I will be there for her Mr. Parker, I can promise you that."<br/><br/>Sensing that the father was taking it hard too - and knowing that the mother was upstairs, Layla decided to act.  Setting the tea down, she embraced the father, giving him a big hug. "We'll be there for Milla.  We'll both be there for her. I promise."   Layla wasn't sure what else she could say- but sometimes a hug was enough.
