Aunt Sansa smiled with relief. "Of course, my dear child," she said softly. "Then you should come home and visit me more often."
"Okay, godmother." I took Aunt Sansa's hand, feeling the warmth spread through my heart.

Evan was acting strangely. He stared at the holographic screen on the wall, looking lost in thought.
Normally talkative, today he was completely silent. I sat at my workstation, my fingers unconsciously rubbing the touchpad on the armrest of my chair, feeling restless.
