Before bed, Zachary received another text message from Cynthia.

In the last two years, Cynthia had texted Zachary every morning and night without fail.

Zachary would normally ignore her messages, but since Charlotte had returned, and he remembered the promise he made to Robbie, he decided to have the talk with her. He replied: Let’s have dinner together tomorrow.

All right! I’ll see you tomorrow!

Cynthia replied almost instantly. She was clearly excited about tomorrow’s dinner.

Zachary put away his phone and shut his eyes. Once again, Charlotte’s face once again popped up in his mind. Will I still dream of her tonight?

 

The next morning, after having breakfast with the triplets, Zachary was ready to send them to school.

No matter how busy he was in the last two years, he would always make a point to send them to school. To him, the forty-minute journey was extremely precious as he could spend some quality time with the children.

 

Yet, today, Henry wished to send them to school instead. He smiled and said, “Do I have the honor of sending all of you to school today?”

Zachary looked at the children and waited for their response.
