The blonde’s cheeks turned impossibly more red when she felt her left breast being squeezed. Worse, she wasn’t sure if it was because of Shane’s hand or because of the laughter surrounding them. The whole incident could have been so easily forgotten if everyone hadn’t watched the whole thing happen. And poor Shane…wait a second, Shane was laughing with them.

Paige eventually joined in and could barely get her words out between giggles, "I’m just sorry the other one feels so left out." She made sure to catch Shane’s eye after that though, just long enough to reassure her that it was truly okay.

Patricia Morales

Patricia was worried sick about the unconscious little boy, and there was still no sign of his mom anywhere. His sister, Jun-Ying, had told her his name was Wilson and their mom’s name was Helena. For about ten minutes, Patricia had been arguing silently with herself, trying to decide if she should or shouldn’t leave the kids alone for just a little while to go and see if maybe there was something else the doctor could do for them, or if she could find their mother.

And maybe I’ll be able to find Carmen too, she thought. Of course, personally, finding her sister was her number one priority, but she had to put that aside. Carmen was a grown woman who had a better change of taking care of herself. These children were all alone with no parents or anyone but her to take care of them right now. Still, it seemed like she had to leave them if only for a little while.
