"You're just picking on Nathan because his mom passed away early and his grandparents are too old to stand up
for him, aren't you?" Nathalie snapped.
Benjamin, feeling as wronged as a character in a classic tragedy, was pacing nervously. "What can | say to make
you believe us?" he pleaded.
"| swear, we never did anything to hurt Nathan. If I'm lying, may | meet a terrible fate."
Benjamin's intense vow left Nathalie feeling conflicted. Her eyes drifted back to the photo album...

Benjamin just gave a sheepish grin, unfazed. "I promise, there won't be a next time."

messages.

hospital to find her.
Hearing this, Nathalie's heart sank, overwhelmed with guilt. She quickly called Nathan, who picked up almost
immediately. "Where are you?"
"Nathan, where are you?" they both asked in unison.
"I'm at home."
"I'm at the hospital," they both replied simultaneously.
Then ca long silence. Both knew the other had a million questions, each wanting the other to speak first.
But neither knew how to begin.
Finally, Nathan broke the silence, his voice soft, "I miss you. Please cback."
Nathalie replied gently, "Okay."
