I didn’t want to get up from his side. Finally, both of us were at peace, our hearts had synced, and our bodies too.

"How is he?" Baba asked.
"Better. The doctor said he was lucky no vital organs were hit."
Baba let out a relieved sigh.
I had a small breakfast, and soon after, Karsten’s family arrived—Camilla and his siblings. They entered with serious and tense faces.
