It was good for Laura to be cautious around her seniors.
Olivia, joining them, offered, âLaura can stay in my room!â
Edwin responded, âSheâs particular about where she sleeps.
â
Olivia teased, âBut sheâs okay with your bed?â
Edwin replied seriously, âSheâs okay with me, not the bed.

Olivia rolled her eyes.
She knew Edwin just wanted Laura close.
Mark needed to discuss something with Edwin.
So Olivia led Laura to Edwinâs room, a spacious suite with an attached guest room and study.
Olivia turned on the heating in the master bedroom.
Laura immediately recognized Edwinâs space, filled with books and action figures.
She explored them one by one.
Olivia busied herself but didnât interrupt Laura.
On Edwinâs bedside was a sketchbook, seemingly repaired after being torn.
Laura was shocked to see her childhood drawings, which she had thought lost, now in Edwinâs possession.
She held the sketchbook, her fingers tracing the drawings tenderly.
When Edwin entered, he found her absorbed in the sketches.
He ushered Olivia out, closed the door, and approached Laura, speaking softly.

âThere was a time I resented you so much, I used that as fuel to excel.
Even though we were happy and I cared for you, I thought it was revenge.
â
Edwinâs voice quivered.
He wrapped his arms around Laura, murmuring, âIâm sorry, Laura.
â
Laura looked down at the sketchbook.
She asked quietly, âDo you regret resenting me? Would we still be together if you hadnât?â
Edwin tapped her head lightly.
âSilly question.
