"So, that's what happened..."
As Aunt Nezja advised me earlier, I told Natha about what I had been thinking. When he returned from his office, I took him to the bedroom before he could visit Shwa as usual, telling him that Aunt Nezja was having a bonding time with our son.
He went from intrigued to concerned when I brought him to the couch instead of the bed and put on a serious expression. There were even a few seconds when he looked dreaded before asking me if he had done something wrong.
I laughed because I realized I was acting too tense--perhaps because I was in the middle of solving the box's puzzle when he came. He sighed in relief when I took out the treasure box and told him what I said to Aunt Nezja earlier. I waited for his reply while rubbing the bracelet, thinking about modifying it to fit Shwa.
"Sweetheart,"
"Mm?"
