He must have seen her video. "Yep. I was visiting family."

She thought she was comforting him, but it made Shawn moody. He picked up the purple clay teapot. "What if she never appears?" "Hmm... Then, I'll introduce someone to you. I don't have much, but I do have a lot of girlfriends."

Shawn laughed again. He was about to speak, but then he heard her cry out in pain.

He said anxiously, "What's the matter?"
