Chapter 43

"Welcome back"

"So... What brings you here?" I put a glass of juice and a sandwich on the table while he was busy playing with Cosmo and Luna.

"Kids, why don't you go to Uncle Joshua and Aunt Abby first? They were in the kitchen." The twins nodded and ran towards the kitchen.

"How are you?" Rhyan asked after the kids left.

I sighed. "We're good. The kids... They started to go to school. And I also have work." I smiled at him.

"I'm sorry if I didn't help you. I know it's hard being alone.-" I raised my right hand to stop.

"It's alright. And it's my choice, anyway. I don't want to be a burden to anybody. Besides, Joshua never left us alone. He was here beside me, all this time." He slowly nodded.

"Are you two... a thing?" I laughed at his ridiculous question.

"We're not. Abby and Joshua are getting married... Not me. He was just a good friend." I smiled when I remember those times... Those times where I have no one else but Joshua.
