On their drive back home, both Shui Xian and Raelle had been silent. They didn't discuss anything.
When they arrived home, Shui Xian found Raelle staring at the empty rocking chair on the porch. He placed a hand on her shoulder and when she turned her eyes towards him, he questioned, "What are you looking at?"
Raelle pointed at the rocking chair saying, "Bà usually waited here for me." Shui Xian was startled by her words. "It's been days I haven't seen him here so maybe I am not comfortable with that." Shui Xian's eyes softened as he gazed at the side of her face while she continued, "I should give him a call."
Nodding her head, Raelle entered the house. She made a beeline for the third floor to her bedroom while Shui Xian followed her.
