"You don't talk much, you don't make friends easily. But seeing so many new

people around you this time... I have to admit, it surprised me."

Jamie looked at him but still said nothing.

Soren continued, "I'm happy for you, but at the same time, I can't help feeling a

This time, Jamie finally responded. "Why are you upset?"

"Because my Jamie doesn't belong to just me anymore."

with amusement, yet she felt an odd weight settle on her chest, making it hard to

breathe.

"My Jamie has grown up. You're not that little girl anymore, the one who used to
