"Sherilyn…"
Gilbert's face was ashen, watching Sherilyn dash into the apartment, despair engulfing him, almost suffocating him!
This was a first for him, this feeling.
Back in the day, enduring torment within the Harrison family, surviving day by day without certainty of a tomorrow, he had never felt this way…
…
Sherilyn rushed back to her apartment, where Rebecca White had thoughtfully returned early.
"I'm back." Rebecca had left the door unlocked for her.
"Yeah." Sherilyn nodded, dropping her bag on the sofa, when she faintly heard voices from the balcony.
Turning her head, she saw Galen.
"Galen hasn’t left yet?"
"Nope."
Rebecca explained, "While you were gone, Mr. Martin and I took turns here, he usually waits until I arrive before he leaves."
"Galen, you’ve been great, and you too, Rebecca."
"Are we back to saying such things?"
From the balcony, Galen's voice floated in intermittently.
It seemed like business matters, beyond the grasp of Sherilyn and Rebecca, yet from his tone and expressions, Galen seemed to be hitting a snag.
"Let's leave it at that for now, I'll be right there."
Galen ended the call, his features tensed, stepping in from the balcony, his face lighting up upon seeing Sherilyn.
"Hey, sis, you’re back?"
"Yeah."
Sherilyn smiled, "Just got here a bit ago. The shooting will be in the downtown area moving forward, so you won’t have to commute here daily. Thanks for all the hard work."
"That’s what uncles are for, isn’t it?"
Galen glanced at his watch, "Jenna's already asleep. Sis, I should head out then."
"Alright."
Sherilyn stood up to see him to the door.
"Galen."
She grabbed his arm, asking in a low voice, "I overheard your call, is there something wrong?"
"Oh, just some work stuff."
Galen offered a reassuring smile, not delving into details, "It’s a long story, don't worry about it, sis. I've got it handled. I should get going now, get back inside."
