Taking the moment that settled our humor aster my nod of agreement to think over what he was about to inform me. — "Sweetie... I was thinking if it was wise to say it or not... but I believe the sooner I tell you the better for your spirit."

"Well, I do have such beliefs... What is it? Is it about Paul and Theressa?"
"Yes. You guessed correctly. The judges were against it when I told them about your request. They deemed it unhealthy given how everything unfolded..."

"Uh, yes. Certainly, I will act consequently..."
"Thank you."
"Um, only for confirmation... Does this mean I can visit them?"
