Rafael parted ways with Thelma as she needed some time to think about the past with Nicolas and Iris. He played with the children who came to him now that Thelma had left his side, but his eyes were on Annalise and Lydia as they were off in their little world.

Rafael stood back for a moment as he didn't want to interrupt their moment when they looked to be enjoying each other's company. From where he stood, he could hear Lydia laughing at something and Annalise following shortly after.

It wasn't long before Annalise noticed that he was watching them and waved for him to come over to them.

"Why were you stalking us, Rafael? If you wanted to come play with us, you should have just said so. Isn't that right, Lydia?" Annalise asked, answered with a nod from Lydia. "See, she wants to play with you too. Sit with us in the shade."
