Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

I suddenly received a call from Douglas. He asked when I would need Tabitha's passport back, as it was still with him. I couldn't help but feel that once a person wakes up to the truth, everything starts to fall into place as it was meant to. "Send it to Coral Villa," I said, then hung up and went to find Tabitha.

"Tabitha, would you like to go abroad to see Aunt Deena?"

Tabitha was growing up fast, her eyes as dark as Nicholas'. When I entered her room, she was leaning by the window, looking outside.

I patted her head. "The windowsill is cold. Next time, make sure to put a blanket here if you want to lay down here, okay?"

"Whatever." Tabitha was concise with her words. Then, she asked, "What about him?"

"Are you asking about your brother or your father?"

No matter who it was, it seemed that Tabitha now had someone to care about.

Tabitha didn't answer. She just continued staring out the window. I followed her gaze and saw not only the golden leaves but also a sweaty little boy who was collecting leaves from around him and stacking them up.

I watched for a while and noticed the leaves had been arranged into the shape of a star-golden and bright-but with the wind, they scattered.
