Soon, the sky went dark.
On the quiet island, only the weeping sound of a girl could be heard.
Tim was hugging his sister in one hand. He did not coax her to stop, but allowed her to cry her heart
out. His other hand with a cigar patted lightly on her back, like petting a kitten that was throwing its
tantrum. Finally, she was done with the crying.
Sage looked up from her brother’s shoulder, and looked at him with her teary eyes, “Why are you only
here after so long..” Her tears rolled down her blushed cheeks, her shoulders shuddering lightly, “I
thought I would not see you anymore…”
Tim laughed slightly at her crying face, and said gently, “There, there, here I am…” Sage sobbed and
said, “Right.”
Then she finally released her brother and stood on her feet.
Tim placed the cigar in his mouth, put his coat over Sage’s shoulders, and wiped away the tears under
her eyes, “You cried like a child.”
Sage stared at him and said, “You are a child!”
She could bicker with me, guess she was fine.
Tim’s blue eyes were shining in delight, he took out a navy blue handkerchief from his pocket, and
passed it to Sage. Sage received it, wiped her eyes and nose, but her mouth was still pouting
Tim pinched her cheeks and said, “What a crybaby.” He passed the satellite phone to Sage, and said,
“There, give home a call to calm down the monkeys.”
Sage took the phone obediently and dialed home. Kane and the rest almost went insane when they
heard her plane went missing. They were all almost boarding a plane to Yathein to look for Sage, but
were all stopped by Tim. They were finally relieved to hear that Sage was safe. The cabin crews were
sent away by Tim’s people, and the plane’s remains were retrieved from the Blue Sapphire Sea.
Captain Yale was requested to provide a statement back at the airlines, and had to cooperate for the
ongoing investigations
Tim and Yale did not communicate much with each other. In fact, they seemed to not be close with
each other at all. Sage observed the two at the side, but could somehow tell that they had an
indescribable bond and chemistry with each other despite the lack of interaction. .
Before leaving, Yale waved and bade goodbye to Sage, “Goodbye, Sage.” “Captain Yale,” Sage said,
and looked into his grey eyes with purple sparkles, and said, “I will mail another copy of the book to
you, Love During War Time.”
“No need for that,” Yale suddenly patted his chest and smiled, “it is all in here.”
Sage was astounded, he kept the book on him?
Yale was then fetched away by his people. Tim raised his brows slightly, “Love During War Time?”
Sage explained, “It was a book that I brought with me, I wanted to give it a re-read in flight. It got taken
away by Captain Yale.” Tim’s sapphire blue eyes flickered, “Sage’s books are not for borrowing, are
they?” “That’s why I gifted it to him.” Sage said defiantly. Tim nodded his head and said, “Oh.” “Ah!”
Sage suddenly exclaimed.
“What happened?”
Speaking of the book reminded her about something else. Tim frowned, this little girl was exactly like
how she used to be as a kid.
