Tensed nerves made the night sleepless for both Calix and Leslie. Yet, their delightful anticipation masked their sluggishness as they were ready to leave for Frostwich Town the next morning.
It was the first day of June. As summer was finally ushered in, the temperature was warmer than usual. Fortunately, the summer rain period had yet to begin.
"Have a safe trip, Mr. Calix and Mrs. Leslie. We'll be waiting for you two and the little miss."
"Please keep up updated about her. Don't worry! You will surely bring her home!"
Amused by Aunt Wendy and Uncle Raymond's way of encouraging them, Calix and Leslie laughed. They looked at the middle-aged spouses who stood outside the executive van.
"Please keep us in your prayers," Calix earnestly requested, his face beaming with joy, "We're not sure how long we will be away. Just contact me if you have anything to tell us."
