Beth's POV
"Sorry, I have to go!"
When Aaron saw the figure at the door, he realized that he had been sneaking out for too long. He tapped the wardrobe doors a few times, leaned closer to the gap between the doors, and whispered,
"Trust me. I'll be back. Until then, make sure you eat well and enjoy your every day. Think about the outside world when you are sad. We will see each other again soon."
Aaron patted the dust off his clothes, ran to the door, took a deep look back, and then left with Peter.
"Who were you talking to?" The young Peter wanted to follow his line of sight.
The young Aaron pushed his back and said lightly, "Let's go back now before they get worried."
The room fell quiet again. "Are you still there?"
The young Beth asked tentatively, hearing no answer after a long time.
