92. A Private Dinner

AURELIA

Despite being back in the apartment, I still didn't feel at peace. Yes, I was happy to have my son with me, hale and healthy. It gladdens my heart to see Kyle and Katie playing together again.

I was happy my daughter didn't have to worry and my son didn't have to deal with trauma.

But a lot doesn't seem right.

She could feel it as well.
