Anxia and Elliot were still relaxing in Elliot's room even though they knew people were bustling to prepare for Elliot's birthday party. Even though Elliot didn't want to celebrate his birthday, Loraine Shu still held it.
Elliot could see his mother looking relaxed, but a frown on his mother's forehead indicated that Anxia was worried about something.
"Mama?"
"Hm?" Anxia's frown disappeared as she turned to her son.
"What are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking about your sister."
Elliot's eyes lit up when he heard his mother talking about Lori. "Lori?"
"I miss her..." and also… Anxia still hasn't wished her daughter a happy birthday. But she didn't say it directly to Elliot.
