Chapter 318

I didn’t necessanly have to personally pick up Hannah’s parents, but I wanted to see where Oscar grew up.

At night, I slept in his room. It was clean and simple, with a few photos of Oscar from his student days. I stared at these pictures for a long time as my eyes got all misty

Oscar gave me a bright and cheerful smile, his voice still clear “Ms. Finch, I’m doing alright. There’s no need to worry about me
