When Garrett held up choices, Luca started to frown a little to himself. A pattern was beginning to form already, and he had a feeling they were going to keep asking him questions he needed to answer, which was hard. But he needed to do it, didn't he? He had to. Life wasn't like before anymore. Garrett and Evelyn were always asking him what he liked and what he wanted, and he had to learn how to figure it out even when he felt overwhelmed because if he didn't then he would go back to how he was before, quiet in his room, doing nothing and seeing no one. Even if the world was scary, he didn't want to go back to feeling like that.
Still, with everything going on around them, between the people, the music, and all the things to see, words became too difficult, and he hoped no one would be mad at him for just pointing to one of the bags. His eyes followed it into the cart, and only drifted away when Evelyn squeezed his other hand, finding a gentle smile on her face.
"You're doing well," she said softly, instead of telling him he didn't have to, and it was both reassuring and disappointing at once. "Garrett can help us pick out a few more, okay? Let's keep going."
As much as she wanted to coddle him, she knew sometimes he would need to be pushed if he was ever going to be more outspoken, or more independent. He was safe with all of them around, so it would be all right.
