Chapter 908: At the drop of a hat

He had stood frozen in his place as his eyes kept staring at the other person in the room. What was she doing in here? She was supposed to be thousands of miles away from him. Was this a dream, a play of fate?

"Is there something wrong?" He could not help but think that there was an emergency, that was why she was here. She did nod. "Is it Grandmama?" When she shook his head. "Is it Eida? Luisa?" 

He walked further into the room, standing closer to his visitor. He still believed that his eyes were deceiving him. That by the time he touched her, she would suddenly disappear in a puff of smoke.

"Then, what is it?" He could not stand the silence as her eyes remained fixated on him. 

Finally, she left the chair and stood before him. He could almost touch her if not for the few inches of air that kept them apart. She was too close but not quite.
