"You! What are you doing here?" I screamed, covering myself.
"I came for you," He said that as if it made complete sense.
"I don't want to see you. Go away," Instead of going away as I had wished he would, he walked into the river, slowly trudging towards my showering self.
"I said go away!" I shouted, turning away from him as if that would help but he didn't heed my words.
"I know you did," He replied, a small smirk on that handsome face that I had grown to both love and hate.
"Then why aren't you going away?" I asked, now beginning to take slow steps back as he got closer.

"We have to leave two chairs on the front row empty. One for father and one for John," I quickly said, clicking my fingers in realisation. Mother didn't say anything, she only smiled at me and I oddly stared at her, tilting my head to the side in confusion. 


"Are you okay? Are you not feeling well?" I asked, placing my hand on her cheeks and forehead to check if she had a fever but stopped when she held my hand in hers. 


"I've never felt better," She assured. 


"...Then why do you look like you're on the verge of tears?" I whispered and she laughed, leaning in to hug me and I hugged back without hesitation, smiling when I felt her hand stroking the back of my head.
