Chapter 65: Karise’s Apology

“Karise?” Shantelle said, seeing her best

friend arrive at the doorway of their old mansion. She leaned back and asked, “How

– how did you know?” (1

“That you are here?” Karise replied. “Keith

told me.”

Shantelle smiled weakly and embraced her friend, saying, “We are having a picnic lunch. Why don’t you join us for dessert?”

“Picnic lunch? With whom?” Karise asked.

Shantelle first pursed her lips. Then she shrugged and revealed, “With the

Thompsons, Uncle Erick and Aunt Clara are

here. Evan is also here.”

“Oh.” Karise hesitated and said, “I don’t

know if I am welcome then. I have heard

from Keith how Lucas has met his father. I

am happy for him.”

There was that awkward silence between

them before Shantelle asked, “Are you?”

“Shanty, please. Let’s talk about it, okay? That’s why I came in the first place,” Karise pleaded.

Shantelle let Karise in. They settled on one bench in the backyard, permitting Karise a good view of how Evan and Lucas were chatting merrily. Karise had earlier greeted the Scotts and the Thompsons, including Evan. Lucas seemed to have forgotten her,

but that was understandable. Their busy lives prevented them from keeping in touch.

“Wow, they look happy,” Karise remarked, seeing Lucas feeding his father with dessert, and Evan acted like a bear with claws before taking the spoon into his mouth.

“They are,” Shantelle answered contently. And I guess it’s because they don’t see each other every day that they make most of their time together.”
