"If Patricia Miller can make him happy, even temporarily, then let him keep her around."
That remark was deeply etched in Benjamin's mind as he sighed, recalling what Penny had told him the night before. Penny had stayed all night, looking after Zoren until he stabilized, only going home at dawn.
Slowly, Benjamin peeked over his shoulder, catching Zoren staring out the window. Another deep exhale slipped past him before he turned his eyes back to the windshield.
While staring ahead, a thought crossed his mind. 'I should inform Mark about the situation. I don't understand why they haven't returned, but they've got to return now.'
A glint flickered across Benjamin's eyes as a look of determination settled on his face.
This couldn't continue like this.
