MIRA
I hug him and we just stand like that for a while... His pain is my pain and I want to share it. All of it..
“I am so sorry, Rien!” I say, trying to hold back tears, “I so hoped that you will be able to see him! That you would find some real family here…”
“You are all the family I really need, Mira,” he breathes into my hair, “But having said that – I did find some relatives in Agnegard!”
“Really?” I look up at him, suddenly excited again.
“My grandfather is still alive,” he smiles, “And also my aunt.”
“This is amazing!” I exclaim. And he kisses my nose, looking at me as if I am a child who just received candy.
“Wait until you know who they are!” he chuckles and my excitement dies down.
“And now you are simply scaring me! Who are they?” I raise my brow.
