The scent of coffee filled the air, but he pushed aside the cup in front of Celina and assertively placed his oatmeal before her. "Got a stomach ache, right? Try this."

In that instant, he caught a shimmer of tears in Celina's eyes.

He knew she was moved. For him, that was just the start of taking care of Celina.
