“I’ll be around. When your brother found out about Connor’s accident, he specifically requested that I stay here with you for a while longer. As you’ve been under a lot of stress over Connor lately, it would be nice for you to take a break alongside Stanley and relax.”

Stanley offered his thanks upon receiving his share of the fruit and seconded the points she made. “Yulia is right, Nat. Just think of it as a vacation. You’ll be back sooner than you know it.”
