Zachary withdrew his arms lamely. Although he seemed very nonplussed on the surface, as though he couldn’t care less about the kids’ behavior, he felt very disappointed indeed.

Turning to Ruby, he said, “I’ll entrust the kids to you then.”

“Of course, of course! I’ll take very good care of them. Don’t worry, Mr. Nacht!” Ruby and the other higher-ups exclaimed at once, nodding vigorously.

Zachary took one last look at the kids before leaving.

As he walked away, Jamie stared after him. He opened his mouth to say goodbye, but seeing as Robbie wasn’t saying anything, he decided to keep quiet too.

“Goodbye, Uncle Zack!”

He turned around to look at her, his lips curving into a smile. “Goodbye!”

 

“Goodbye, Uncle Zack…” Jamie finally summoned up the courage to wave to him.
