Jessie cradled her son, deep in thought.
After a pause, she turned to Albert and asked, âDo you believe theyâll find their way back to each other?â
Albert allowed her to rest against him, tenderly brushing her cheek as he whispered, âI canât say for sure.
But Jessie, I believe that in their lifetime, they will always hold a special place in each otherâs hearts, unforgotten.
â
Albert sensed this bond went beyond their shared children, rooted in the affection they held for each other in their youth.
Jessie nestled in his arms, her thoughts left unspoken.
She understood the need for personal space for everyone.
It seemed to her that, for Alexis, finding peace alone, caring for her cherished maple trees, eagerly awaiting autumn, and observing the leaves changing color might bring about true happiness.
Alexis emerged from the hospital and reached the parking lot.
Leonel sat in the car, engrossed in company matters on his phone.
Spotting her approach, he swiftly exited the vehicle and courteously opened the passenger door for her.
Once seated, Leonel secured her seatbelt and casually asked, âDid you get a glimpse of the baby? Is everything alright?â
âYes, everythingâs fine.
The baby appears to be strong and healthy.
Theyâve named him Bernard.

Their conversation flowed calmly and smoothly until Leonelâs hand halted, his demeanor freezing in place.
Alexis cast her gaze downward.
An awkward silence enveloped the car.
Leonelâs gaze fixated on the damp spot on her top, his voice quivering.
âWould you like some tissues?â
Retrieving a handful of tissues, he neatly folded them before passing them to Alexis.
âDo you need my help?â
Although they had been married for many years, addressing such intimate matters still elicited a hint of discomfort.
Alexis averted her gaze, softly declining, âNo, Iâm fine, thank you.
â
While she adjusted her attire, Leonel observed her slender back quivering ever so slightly.
Unable to resist, he enveloped her in a hug from behind.
Slipping his arms around her, he whispered huskily, âAllow me to help you.
â
Confined by the narrow space of the car, Alexis found herself unable to move away.
Leonelâs gestures were deliberate and alluring.
In another circumstance, an ordinary couple might progress to ki*sing and seeking solace in each otherâs embrace.
But theirs was a different dynamic.
Even if Leonel was stirred, Alexis remained unaffected.
Eventually, Leonel tenderly let her go, locking eyes with her.
