“Yes…
This is she…
No, we lost our parents over a year ago…
Yes, my brother and I have been raising him…
Of course…

Okay…
We will see you tomorrow.”
Mari hung up the phone and turned to Willem, who had been watching and listening. “He is coming home.”
Willem returned his gaze to the picture window, just as a bolt of lightning cracks the sky. “That is wonderful news. But we must remind Aric that he cannot say anything. Tobias must figure it out on his own. Then he can make his choice.” Just then, a loud crack of thunder shook the house. “Let us just hope that he makes the right one.”
