Beyond the Divorce

The car sped through the streets, and I had no idea where we were heading. But with Atlas by my side, I felt reassured. As long as he was with me, I wasn't afraid, even if we were at the ends of the earth. After about 40 minutes, the car stopped in front of a house, and we all got out.

The warm air here was no different from Foswood, making me feel at ease. If it weren't for the different house and garden, I would have thought we were back at Pleca Park. Atlas held my hand as we walked in.

An elderly woman came out to greet us, exclaiming, "Mr. Atlas, you're finally back!"

The woman welcomed him with open arms, and he strode over and embraced her while I stood by, feeling a bit awkward.

The old lady seemed ecstatic, patting his back and tearing up. "It's been so long since I've seen you."

Atlas didn't rush to pull away from her embrace, letting her pat his back. It was clear they shared a special bond, and the old lady had deep affection for Atlas.

Finally, Atlas stood up and said to the old lady, "Guess who I brought back with me."
