His voice, clear and unusually solemn, combined with the depth of emotion drowning in his eyes, madeforget to breathe.

My heart skipped a beat, yearning to nod in agreement, unable to muster any objection. But I wasn't in my early twenties anymore. After a few breaths, reason took over.

I pursed my lips lightly, "I think I want to wait... until all these things settle down." Seeing the flicker of disappointment in his eyes, worried he might misunderstand, I couldn't help but explain, "These issues are like ticking tbombs. Whether it's Palmer, Dorothy Pearl, Kane, or the mastermind behind it all, having a child now would only give them and our worries more leverage. Gregory, I too wish for us to start a family soon, I believe we'll strive to be great parents." "But not now."

"Jane, you're here again," Ramona scolded lightly, "Didn't I tell you to go straight hafter work? Why worry aboutso much, look, I'm fine hafter work everywhere. If it weren't for you insisting on hospitalization, could've been hby now."

We hadn't told Ramona about the poisoning, so she was eager to leave the hospitab days ago if not for my persuasion. I went over and took her hand, "I just want to spend more twith you, that's all." "Then letgo hwith you?" Ramona asked like a child, looking to Gregory for support, "Greg, what do you say?" "Ramona!" I sighed, "You should still..." "Jane, maybe we should just take Ramona home?"
