Henry gently squeezed Eva's hand as he guided her to a secluded spot in the garden, where a rustic bench nestled beneath the boughs of an ancient oak tree awaited them.

The verdant foliage provided a canopy of shade, shielding them from the sun's golden rays while allowing slivers of light to dance upon their skin.As he stared into her eyes, he could see himself in her eyes, dreaming of togetherness with her, and he wished she was dreaming the same dreams as he is. Eva shied away from his gaze and eyes, feeling the beauty of the place.

She can't believe that such a place exists. “What's the mystery about this hidden place, Henry?“ She was so curious to know, and with the way she was still looking around the environment, Henry smiled at her.

Brainy, the special one." Duke guesses he doesn’t know where they will get the kidnapper or how they will deal with Brainy."But Henry, where do you actually want us to go?" He asked"We are off to Jack," Henry said, smiling. "Who on earth will think Jack is a kidnapper?""Oh, that's right, but Jack is not an abductor."

It’s strokes at 3:00 a.m. He relieves the horror of losing Bryan in his dreams. It's a terrible nightmare. He stood up from the bed so that he could not go back to sleep. He was perturbed. He guesses something fishy is going on because Bryan is not anywhere in the house. He waddled around the room until the weather became refulgent. He shoved his room open. He went out of his room and went directly to Bryan's room; he couldn’t find him. He felt a sharp heat circling around the corner of his neck. Nervously, he yelled in protest, "Bryan, are you there?" He yelled, ransacking Bryan everywhere around his room. "Where could Bryan be?" He asked no one but himself. He grew weary, and tears circled around his eyes.

He said to him softly.Bryan smiled. The joy he felt from sensing home again was all over the place, and he couldn't believe he could feel the airy breeze from outside—something he hadn't felt since he was locked in that Rubbies building—and that finally he was back home. He couldn't stop beaming. He couldn't wait to see his father, have him, and tell him how much he had missed him.
