The living room was happily filled with conversation. The smile on Junie's face barely left as she hugged Claire tightly."You really came back!""I promised I would, didn't I?" Claire answered with a laugh."You did!"The child let out a deep sigh, looking very relieved. Her reaction was completely different from when she saw Vanessa. That only meant Junie was truly close to Claire. She had nothing to worry about after all.Did she really have nothing to worry about? Aren't you affected, Graziel? Her mind teased her."I missed you.""I missed you too, sweetheart."Claire gently stroked Junie's hair. Graziel just watched them quietly from the side of the living room.It seemed like the two had known each other for a long time. It was no surprise why Junie recognized the woman right away, even though she had been living abroad for five years."Auntie Claire!" Junie suddenly remembered something. "I have something to show you!""What is it, sweetheart?""My drawings!" She immediately pu

The happy dinner continued.Every now and then, you could hear the soft clinking of silverware and Junie's endless stories about their picnic earlier that morning."...and then Daddy hid behind the tree!" she shared with a laugh, using her hands as she spoke.Claire smiled. "And did he win?""No!" Junie quickly shook her head. "I found both of them."Claire burst out laughing.Graziel could only stare. Even Claire's laugh was so genuine and innocent. It was completely different from Vanessa's laugh, which was so fake that you just knew she was planning something bad.Claire was really nice, and anyone could easily see it. That's why up until now, Graziel hadn't found any reason not to like her.The child and her aunt kept talking. Junie was thoroughly enjoying Claire's company. Her giggles were so catching that everyone felt happy too."So you're the champion?" Claire asked Junie."Of course, Auntie." The child proudly put both hands on her hips. "I'm always the champion."Even Kevin

The photo album remained open in the middle of the coffee table. Claire stared quietly at the old picture.Her bright smile never vanished, but Graziel noticed a subtle sadness pass through her eyes. Beside her, Kevin remained quiet.No one was speaking. The only sound in the family room was the quiet ticking of the clock in the corner.Junie looked back and forth at the two adults. She seemed to notice the sudden change in mood, too. Graziel also noticed that her boss didn't seem to want to discuss who was in the picture."Daddy?" the child asked in a soft voice. "Who's that?"She pointed to the young boy in the photo. Kevin didn't answer right away. Instead, he gently closed the album using the palm of his hand.He didn't shut it loudly as if he were angry or annoyed, and he certainly didn't slam it. It just seemed like he didn't want that page to stay open anymore."An old friend," he answered briefly.Graziel noticed that Junie didn't ask any further questions. Perhaps the child a

Morning was bright when Graziel woke up.Sunlight gently filtered through the thin curtains of her room, along with a cool breeze coming in from the slightly open window.She smiled.It was Sunday, and the mansion was usually quieter on days like this. Kevin had no early business meetings, and Junie had no online classes. Even the housemaids were not as busy.After getting ready, she went down to the kitchen.She was wearing a simple beige knit blouse and light-wash jeans. Her long hair was loose, slightly wavy at the ends.When she entered the kitchen, she saw Aling Rosa already there."Good morning, dear.""Good morning, Po."The older woman smiled as she stirred the cooked chocolate rice porridge (*champorado*)."Did you sleep well?"Graziel nodded. "Yes, Po. How about you?""Oh, when you get older, you don't sleep as soundly anymore."Graziel laughed. "Is that really true?""Just wait until you reach my age."They both laughed.As Graziel arranged the bowls and spoons, she noticed

The black SUV stopped in front of the Torres Mansion. It was late afternoon, and the sky had a beautiful color as the sun slowly set. Sunsets happened to be her favorite.The back door opened first."Daddy!" Junie jumped down happily, hugging her small stuffed bunny. "I'll race you inside!""Junie, don't run," Kevin reminded her, but it was too late.The child was already giggling as she ran inside the house. He could only shake his head before closing the car door. On the other side of the vehicle, Graziel slowly got out. She was still carrying the small paper bag that Claire had given her before they went home."Thank you for treating me, Ma’am Claire. I really enjoyed it," she said softly.Claire couldn't even count how many times Graziel had thanked her today. She was genuinely pleased by Graziel's reactions earlier. She had been showering her with thanks ever since they had that deep conversation. That was why she wasn't surprised at how quickly Junie became close to Graziel, thi
