Shannon quickly wiped her tears and wrapped her arm around her mother's before walking up the steps.

“I'm fine and doing well. I've led a peaceful life all this while. There weren't any killings, bloodshed, or gunfights. My days have been so peaceful that I have gradually forgotten what it was like to live like a lifeless puppet.”
