Norris held Tilly's hand and said to Trenton Smith, "I'm leaving now."
Trenton looked at her, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, then he let out a soft sigh.
He said to her, "I'll come over later."
Norris looked at Sherry White, as if wanting to say something, but only smiled, "Alright."
She left arm in arm with Tilly.

Trenton pushed Sherry's wheelchair to the shade under a banyan tree in the garden.
Sherry lowered her head and said somewhat nervously, "Treton, have I brought you trouble again?"
Trenton didn't say anything and only lowered his head to send a text message to the head nurse.
"A nurse will be here soon to take you for a walk."
Sherry was startled, then she looked up at him. His face was somber under the dappled shade, and Norris' appearance didn't seem to bother him too much.
But she knew that something had changed inevitably.
The transformation was subtle and could only be felt by those who knew each other well.
