Perhaps what Jalen had said worked. Elaina got up from the sofa and had breakfast with Jalen.
Elaina was still down and did not say a word for a long time.
"He will leave today, won't he?" Jalen asked.
Elaina nodded. Jalen continued, "Won't you see him off at the airport?"
Elaina shook her head and ate her breakfast. Then, she said, "No. Just as you said, it isn't a separation between life and death. What is the point of my seeing him off?"
Jalen shook his head and did not say anything else.
Elaina finished her breakfast and then lay down on the sofa. Jalen pulled Elaina up. "Get changed now, and I'll take you out."
"Where are we going?" Elaina raised her head slightly. She was not in high spirits and did not want to go out.
"You will know when we get there." Jalen did not answer the question. He led Elaina out, got in the car, and left Kemp Apartment.
