"Where have you been?"
Sounded a voice muffled along with droplets of tears. Her voice slowly faded away and got entangled in her soft sobs. Her little one came running and twined on Raymond's thighs.
There were tears of joy, in the eyes of the little one too.
Shawn stood there, just a couple of feet away and anyone could tell that he was so moved by this union that tears were just about to flood his eyes too.
Raymond slowly lifted his arm and started patting Kate's head and said,
"I am sorry my love. I know you missed your uncle. I know uncle didn't do the right thing by hiding, but your uncle had to. And uncle promises that he will make it up to you."
Saying that he cupped Kate's chin and slowly caressed Katherine's back to calm down her sobs while Akira stood in the corner, wiping away her tears silently.
