It was when a university student had helped her up when she fell last time. The smile on that face was the same as Quintin’s smile. His smile was bright and kind, and it was filled with the same youthful exuberance.

Josephine was still in a daze when Quintin lowered his head and fished a band-aid from his pocket. He tore open the band-aid and delicately placed it on Josephine’s forehead. He said, Sorry, I caused you to get hurt earlier.”
