Leander gently caressed Viviana's hair as she lay on his lap. She must be very tired to sleep through the noise of the helicopter. She took painkillers and that must be it.
He leaned back and closed his eyes. His brief meeting with Father Patrick replayed in his mind. That priest knows more than he thinks. He planned on visiting him again after Evander's funeral.
He left Katerina and Martha in Abenney. After Evander's funeral, he decided to bring his wife there. It felt more like home for him. Maybe he should bring his cats there.
He decided to read the letter in the meantime. He tried to pull it out from his pocket, but it disturbed Viviana. He decided to find another convenient time to read the letter.
He looked out and they were already near their house. He tried to keep her asleep, but she woke up just as the helicopter landed.
"What time is it?" Viviana asked.
She was tired and still wanted to sleep more.
