Yet, to her dismay, Benjamin was the one who had placed the garment on her.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Perhaps it was disappointment or resentment.

“Abel couldn’t find you. He’s going crazy!” Benjamin sat down beside her, embracing her trembling shoulders.

“Where is he?” She tearfully asked. “Where is he? Why didn’t he come to pick me up?”

“He couldn’t free himself from something important.” He said, “He’ll be back tomorrow morning.”
