After ending the call with Kane, Amelia Garcia took a while to recover.
Last night, the kids had asked why Uncle Kane hadn't come to play with them recently, wondering if he had left again.
She didn't know how to respond.
The adult world was too complicated, and even though the kids were precocious, they probably didn't understand all the twists and turns.
And now, he was really leaving.
Amelia didn't feel reluctant to let go.
She just hoped that he could heal from his wounds soon, withdraw himself, and start looking for the right person, the right love.
After pulling herself together, she fell into a new quandary.
Olivia Williams had reached out to her, the issue was resolved—she felt she should at least inform someone about it.
But, recalling that "face-touching" moment, her cheek involuntarily twitched uncomfortably, as if his rough fingertips were still there.
