AT HIS COUSIN'S PACK III

Derek smiled as he saw that his Aunt was pleased with his gift, even though it served as a source of disturbing reminder to his uncle; but of course he didn't care. He loved it actually.

"It means a lot to me. Aunt Jan. I will be going now. Thanks again." He said to her, before turning away for the last time, and walking away from the sitting room, ahead of his cousin, who still looked bewildered by the whole thing. She didn't understand what was going on. 

  He knew that she was still trying to comprehend or recall if there had been anything her mother had done at one time, that had saved him. Well, she wouldn't. Unless she would ask him, which of course, he knew that she would once she was out of her thinking haze.
