Hannah stayed with me almost the whole morning once I was better and Anton allowed visitors.
“You are missing school because of me. “I tell her and she gives me a pointed look.
“It’s fine. I also explained the situation to the teachers. I mean, Gabriel did. They love him, so it’s fine. Don’t worry about it. “
I feel the tears threatening to spill. Why am I crying now? It’s happened before - so, so many times before. It's a bit worse now but still.
“Did you … tell them about my father? “ I manage and she shakes her head.
“About that… “she begins, “Gabriel will be totally okay if you stay with us. Although I am sure Candy will insist you stay with her. “
“Thank you. But… I don't know, I will think it over. Honestly- thank you.”
Then the guilt starts flooding all over me.
