Estelle flashed a gentle smile, “No worries, keep Sophia company for me, I’ll head out first.”

With a small nod to Sophia, she strode towards the door, leaving the space open for Robin.

Seated at the bedside, Robin held Sophia’s hand with an apologetic look, “I’m sorry, Sophia. I’ve really been a louse.”

Sophia shook her head, her understanding smile brightening the room, “It’s alright. I know you’ve been busy. It’s just a cold; a bit of rest, some meds, and I’ll bounce back in no time.”

Robin nodded, “How are you feeling now?”

“Just finished.”
