Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Hannah Morse had just arrived at the train station. She was Oscar Morse’s one and only sister. Their family were farmers, and they didn’t come with her

this time

It took me a good half hour to get to the station from Barbara’s place. When I saw Hannah, I was taken aback. She was the spitting image of Oscar, only softer and more feminine

Hannah was a lot older than Oscar, she was even older than me. Her face was a portrait of sorrow, and her eyes seemed to be swollen from crying on

the trip.

“Hi, I’m Irene Finch. I’m a friend of Oscars. I had Barbara take Hannahs luggage and then I introduced myself to her.

“Ms. Finch, nice to meet you. This is my first time here. I don’t know anything about this place, so I’m hoping you can help me out.” Hannah said as she looked at me with sad eyes.

“No problem. If you’re Oscar’s sister, you’re my sister too I felt heavyhearted and a bit guilty because I felt that I was indirectly responsible for Oscar’s death.

Hannah nodded. Thank you. Oscar was lucky to have a friend like you.”

Hearing that made me feel worse, and the guilt grew stronger. But I couldn’t say anything. I just tried to put on a brave face. Let’s get going then. I’ll take you to my place first. You can crash at my place for a few days. Once you’re settled, we can go visit Oscar.”

Hannah’s eyes welled up again. She wiped at the corner of her eve. “Okay”

Barbara took me and Hannah back to Sterling Estates. I was originally thinking of having Hannah stay at my apartment, but I was worried that she might need me for something or might want to chat, so in the end, I decided to let her stay at Sterling Estates.

To my surprise, Neil was home. He was sitting by the window, sipping coffee, and flipping through a book. When he saw me come in with Hannah, he frowned, “Who’s she?”

“Oscar’s sister. She might be staying here for a few days. I gave Hannah a pair of slippers. She glanced at Neil, looking a bit uncomfortable.

I tried to reassure her, “Don’t mind him. He’s my ex-husband. Oscar knew him?

Hearing that, Hannah finally bent down to change her shoes.
