"It can't be... (NAME)?"

- Yes, it's me! Oh my gosh, Alfred, it's you!!! I...

- (NAME), what are you doing? - Alice walked to you - We have a lot of customers right now, you can't just stop working!

- I-I know. I'm sorry, Alice, I'm going back to wor...

- I guess she's not feeling very well. - Alfred interrupted you - I can take her to the hospital.

Alice looked at you.

- Are you fine?

- I'm... Feeling a little dizzy and I have a headache. - you lied with no hesitation.

Alice bit her lower lip.

- Uh... That's bad. Well, we don't have time for talking; you can take the day off, I talk with the boss.

- I can call Susan if you want.

Alice looked at you and nodded.

- Do this, please. Well, I shouldn't be here talking, I'm going back to work.

- Thank you, Alice.

- No problem.

- I'll return the favor!

She smiled.

- I know, I know.

After calling Susan, you entered Alfred's car and sat on the passenger's bench. He sat by your side and started driving.

- A little dizzy? - he asked.

You laughed.

- Don't forget about the headache. - Then you looked at him - I can't believe I found you.

- Me neither.

- I thought I'd never see you again.

- Me too.

He stopped the car at some street, but you were too focused on his face to say which street it was.

- You're using glasses now - you said.

"What a stupid thing to say."

He smiled.

- You're taller.

- Well, you too! - you smiled - You're 23 now, right?

- Yes. So you remember when my birthday is?

- I never forgot anything about you.

He looked at you.

- Me neither. You're 20 now, right?

You looked at him.

- No.

- 21?

- Yes, 21. - you rolled your eyes, and he laughed.

You stayed quiet for a while.

- Did you find out anything about your family?

He nodded.

- Yes. My father was British, he met my mother when they were spending their vacations at Hawaii. After her vacations, my mother never saw him again. She figured out she was pregnant, she was only 19... When I was one year old, she met a man... And fell in love with him.

- Have... Have you met her?

- No, I met my grandparents. My mother... The man she loved left her and she came back home, but, two days after this, she killed herself. She died when I was 5.

- And what about your father?

- I... I don't have any clue about who he is. - he said. He sounded like he was about to cry.

You looked at Alfred and grabbed his hand. You couldn't see him sad. Never.

- I'm here. - you whispered - And... We are... Family, right? We'll never leave each other again. Right?

He looked at you and smiled.

- Right.
