Caretaker Shani's State Of Mind

Orion sensed that Caretaker Shani might have found his actions amusing. He awkwardly cleared his throat several times and responded, "That's good. I'm happy that you enjoyed today."

Caretaker Shani's laughter gradually subsided, and she gazed at Orion. Besides him, no one else had managed to ensure that she was okay after her husband's death. 

Yes, others had offered their sincere condolences, but it only served as a reminder of her late husband. Perhaps it was because she had opened up to him first, but even if she had, there was still no need for him to go above and beyond as he did today. 

After witnessing his efforts, Caretaker Shani honestly didn't know what to say.

"Orion…" Caretaker Shani said, looking at the young man before her. She stretched her hand forward and grabbed his chin before Orion could respond. 

She leaned in and kissed him firmly on the cheek before pulling back and staring at him warmly.
