Downstairs, Sharon got up from Mrs. Wilson's embrace. Both her eyes were red and puffy from all the crying.

That gave Mrs. Wilson a twinge, so she held her puny face up and blew some air to her eyes.

Sharon sobbed as she asked, “Mrs. Wilson, Mommy will be fine, right?”

“Yes, she'll be alright. Your daddy has gone to rescue her, so Sharon should just wait at home, alright?” Mrs. Wilson stroke Sharon's hair and comforted her.

Sharon bit her lip in apprehension and returned, “But I'm still worried.”

“Don't worry.” Mrs. Wilson replied softly, “We have to have faith in your daddy. He will surely bring Mommy back.”

Sharon nodded and acknowledged what Mrs. Wilson said.

Mrs. Wilson added, “Are you tired? Let me take you back to your bedroom to rest, okay? Maybe when you wake up, Daddy and Mommy will be home then.”

“No.” Sharon shook her head. “I don't want to sleep. I want to wait here.”

“That's fine, too.” Knowing that Sharon couldn't get it off her mind, Mrs. Wilson didn't persist in persuading her. It's the weekend tomorrow after all. I shall just let her wait a little longer then.
