I maintained my composure. “I like the environment here in R Province and brought Summer here to start our new life. I didn’t think much about it.”

“What about Summer’s father?” Abigail was a curious young girl.

The waiter served our food. “It’s rather late. Let’s eat and go back soon.”

She stopped asking me questions.
