1. I’m Scared, Frank

While Kara pondered the cost of restitution, Frank walked to the window and grabbed the only thing that survived.

“All of these things can be replaced with new ones, but not you. That’s why,” Frank sat by Kara’s side and placed Yemon on her lap,” I’m grateful you’re safe.”

Kara looked at Frank with a flat expression. Her mind was too full. There was no appropriate expression to represent it.

“You’re right. The important thing is that I’m safe,” she sighed stiffly.

Curling up the corners of his lips, Frank stroked Kara’s hair. “So, how do you feel? You really aren’t hurt?”

The woman looked down as if she could see the pain. Remembering how she almost met death, her fingers trembled violently again.

Frank pulled Kara into his arms, whispering, “It’s okay, Kara. It’s okay.”

He couldn’t say much. He just patted Kara’s back, and occasionally kissed her head.

“Better?” Frank whispered as he stroked Kara’s eye bags.

The woman nodded slightly. “Thank you.”

Frank smiled faintly. “I think we should go to the hospital. You need to get checked up, and the kids will miss you. Besides, the police will be here soon to check out the crime scene.”

Kara repeated the movement of her head. Taking a deep breath, she stood up. However, before her feet had time to move, her body fell back into Frank’s arms.
