Danny looked up at me. “Charloote, how do you spell ‘Uncle‘?”
“U–N–C–L–E, got it?”
“Yeah,”
After a moment, he looked up again. “How do you spell ‘home‘?”
“H–O–M–E.
Just as I finished speaking, the doorbell rang.
I got up to answer the door and, looking outside, was both surprised and delighted, “Dilan!”
“Woof woof woof!”
A white Samoyed jumped onto me, rubbing against me enthusiastically.
I was overjoyed and turned to Jack, “Jack, I was just thinking about when to have Dilan shipped back to the country, and you’ve brought him over for me.”
“You’re used to him. Having him around is good for you.”
“Thank you!” I looked at him gratefully. “Without you, my recovery wouldn’t have been so quick.”
He teased, “Aren’t you going to invite me in?”
*Please, come in!”

“It’s not troublesome.” Jack smiled warmly. “I was in Jelaston on business anyway, so it was convenient to bring Dilan along.”
I sighed. “You always say that.”
Every time he helped me, he tried not to make me feel like I owed him.
He always found reasons like “just happened to be passing by” or convenient” to explain.
Danny ran out of the bathroom and, seeing Jack, called out sweetly without waiting for me to speak, “Mister!”
Jack politely responded and looked at me with confusion.
I explained, “This is Frank’s cousin’s child. I’m helping to take care of him.”
“Frank?” Jack’s expression froze, and he blurted out, “You’ve seen Frank? Did he come to find you?”

I was taken aback. “Jack, you knew that Frank is alive?”
All this time, whether Frank was dead or alive had been only speculation between him and me.
