Dinner time come.
Cooper went home and was greeted with Graven's smiling face.
"Nice to see you again, bro!" Graven said.
"Thanks God, you're safe!" Cooper said. "Let's talk outside for a few minutes," he said.
"Okay," Graven replied.
The men left the living room and went to the veranda and settled on the couch.
"Horace didn't tell me much about your condition, the only thing he told me is pray to my God for your safety and survival. I can't bring myself to inform our Father the bad news. So I kind of make an alibi that you went on a fishing expedition on a whim and will return one year later..." Cooper explained.
"It's okay, bro. I understand that Father might get worried about my condition and he will get sick of worry if he will know about my real situation. I already explained to him that I ditched my fishing expedition because the ocean is not my thing. Good thing he believe everything that I've told him," Graven said.
