Longing to see You

"We have not told them yet. Do you want me to?" Valerie said nonstop and then she asked him. Eric was able to sigh out of relief because he is actually more worried of their parents finding out than his own safety. 

Eric's shoulders went down as he sighed, "Oh thank goodness." He looks a lot more better now that Valerie herself said that.

"Eric, it may not seem like it but I do care about you." Valerie said in a way that it sound like she is nagging him but it was more like the other way around. 

Due to their age difference, Valerie and Eric are not so close. Majority of Eric's life, Valerie has been out of it because she is already working in the city.

This makes Irene think of something. How nice it must have be to have a sibling whom you can rely on? She envies Valerie because she has a lot of siblings.
