Hearing this, Ethan stopped crying, his big eyes fixed on Gareth.

Maureen could hardly object now.
The three headed to the event area to register. Once ten couples had signed up, the staff announced the rules:
Participants stand face to face, get blindfolded, then staff suddenly lowers a suspended object-like an apple or
paper.

large enough that leaning forward would keep it from falling.
Blindfolds secured, the host shouted: “Begin!”
Everyone pressed forward at once.
The balloon was tethered by a string, easily caught.
Ethan cheered for them: “Go Mommy, go Daddy!”
Maureen thought of Ethan, determined to win that Giant Teddy Bear

On the way back to the hospital, Ethan hugged the Giant Teddy Bear, over the moon.
“Mommy, can you and Daddy bringhere again next time?”
Maureen nodded distractedly: “Okay.”
After dropping Ethan off, Maureen declined Gareth’s offer to drive her home.
“| drove here too. If you takeback, my car stays here-that’d be inconvenient.”
Maureen avoided Gareth’s gaze.
“Okay, when are you free?
Let’s ctogether to find Ethan.”
“It’s not certain yet. | promised Katherine the other day to go see her.”
Maureen made an excuse to refuse.
Gareth knew she wasn’t comfortable yet and wasn’t in a hurry.
“Then when you have time, contact me.’
“Mm-hmm.”
Maureen nodded repeatedly.
After she left, Gareth opened his phone, looked at a photo of the two taken by Ethan, and his lips curled up
unconsciously.
Suddenly, he received an unknown call.
