Arnold listened in silence, his eyes fixed on the empty corridor.

He did not ask another question.

The silence between them was heavy, and he only nodded slightly before turning away.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Sarah was busy at home.

She sat at her small kitchen table, carefully preparing the documents she needed for the day. Every sheet was arranged in next piles. She checked her list twice and made sure nothing was missing,

Today was an important day at the company, and she wanted everything to be perfect.

Sarah was determined and calm as she packed her bag with the necessary information.

Just as she was about to leave, a knock sounded at the door.

Standing there was her friendly neighbor. In his arms, he carried a little boy with curly hair and bright, curious eyes.

The neighbor looked anxious as he spoke, “Sarah, I have a family emergency to attend to. Could you please drop Erian off at school today?” He looked around, as if expecting an answer quickly.

Sarah glanced at the clock on the wall.

There was still plenty of time before work, and the school was on her way.

She smiled kindly.

“Of course. I can do that.” She patted the little boy’s head gently, and Brian smiled shyly. The neighbor thanked her repeatedly before hurrying off to his own urgent business.

About half an hour later, Sarah drove to the school with Brian sitting quietly in the front seat.

The morning sun was bright, and the roads were calm.

As she pulled up near the school entrance, she saw something that made her slow down.

Just outside, standing together as if they were a happy family, were Arnold, Linda, and Alex.
