Lyra had filed a leave from her work these past few days in order to tend to Torin well while he was still recuperating. Her mom would also check on him whenever she was in the City.
"Is there good news? By the way, what do you want me to cook for dinner?" Lyra asked. Torin just ended a phone call to the Military Base to ask about the status of the search operation for Zach and Keira.
Torin walked to Lyra and hugged her from behind as he kissed her neck and whispered, "No, no news yet. I'm really sad… I was hoping to hear that they had found them on an island, enjoying their alone time while perhaps practicing their outdoor survival skills so they could pick it up as a hobby or something…"
Lyra patted his back and sighed. She was also worried and was hoping that Keira and her brother were safe somehow. "I'm sure they will find them soon..."
