After a while, a gentle smile broke on his lips.
“It’s cold here in the corridor. Get inside the room quickly.”

Barefoot, he ran downstairs and called, “Dad!”
His voice made Mark turn around and crouch to meet his son speeding towards him.

Edwin panted as he looked at Mark, to which Mark responded by touching his head.
“You silly boy,” he said.
“Dad,” Edwin called out to him again.
