It is already pretty late when we get home, and I do not remember the stress I felt before until we stand in front of the door. Christine is still watching the kids, isn't she? And I'm also gonna have to tell her what happened. I hope she doesn't kill me...
Nervously, I walk inside as soon as Jerah opens the door. There, I find the five kids sleeping on the couch, while Christine is sitting on the floor in front of them.
"Finally," she sighs. "This is killing my back. Don't you have any chairs?"
"Have they been good?" I ask her, extending my hand so she can get up.
Instead of answering my question or taking my hand, she stares. "Nuri. What's that?"
I quickly pull back my hand. "Ah, uhm..."
"It's got nothing to do with you," Jerah joins in.
"Wait, wait, hold up. Nuri, don't tell me-- you are not about to make the biggest mistake of your life, right?"
"Chris, please don't," I sigh. "Can't you just be as happy as I am for now?"
