Long time no see old friend.. (Tag Russel)

[Hannah van de Berg]

The gas had come, like it always did. Hannah had dreaded the moment she would have to say goodbye again. There was this small spark of hope that maybe, just maybe, she would wake up outside. But no. She had not. She knew she was still inside because she could feel the cold concrete on her skin. She was on the ground in yet another room.

The brunette groaned as she hesitantly sat up. Her body was aching from laying on the ground but there were worse fates. She looked around the room still dazed from passing out. She frowned a bit. The memorial room. Again. She was not sure how much she liked the color red after this whole.. spectacle.

Red confetti,
Red wedding,
Red wine,
Red burnmarks,
Red hair stained with
Red blood
Red crayon for the memorial in the
Red room

Hannah hesitantly got on her feet again. Her eyes looked at the red bed sheets as she noticed someone on it. Her eyes grew wider seeing who it was.
"Russel?! Oh my goodness! Russel!" She hurried to her friend. She had not seen him since when they first woke up in this place. The brunette heard about his forced second marriage so Hannah knew the man was alive but actually seeing him was so much better. She gently shook her dear colleague by his shoulders to wake him.

[Russel Jefferson]

Not again. Not again. Not again. He had to literally be out by gas once again and then had to be moved into another room. He was hearing a familiar lady’s voice. It sounded like one of his old teacher friends from the past but, he had to slowly wake up first. He felt his body being shaken gently and started to open up his eyes. He saw that the room got changed from blue, to red now all of a sudden. This was a very interesting color transition indeed. He was on a red bed, which reminded him of Tia’s and his old bed, well right before getting kidnapped in this hell hole.

Russel’s eyes felt a bit blurry as he was noticing a familiar brunette young lady. Could that be... Hannah? Finally. He was being roomed with someone he had a past with. He was roomed with David a couple of times, and he truly missed him so much. He was praying every time to make sure his lovely nephew was fine. “Hannah.... is that you?” He asked, while slowly waking up. He remembered when the both of them were having coffee at the school and he was opening to her about his family life. So, this was honestly a pleasant surprise for sure. He wasn’t sure on what she had to go through. So, might as well catch up before the gas takes effect. “All I have to say right now....is that I want to be home with Tia and the kids again...” He said, with a low sigh, thinking about Tia missing him right now.

[Hannah van de Berg]

"Hannah is that you?" The brunette vould feel a wave of relief wash over her. No weird things. Russel was okay. Well. As much as she could tell.. except for his ears. She gave him a worried look but decided that asking might be re-opening old wounds and emotions the man did not want to deal with right now. " yes its me.. oh my god I am so glad to see you" she admitted as she had let go of his shoulders so he could work himself up to a sitting position.

Hannah gave him some space to wake up. He must be just as blurry as she had been. Nope there was no getting used to the gassing system. When russel made a comment about tia, hannah could not help but feel bad for the man. " that is not a strange thought" the brunette confirmed. She could only imagine how worried the mans wife, his real wife, would be. Not to mention his children. " I heard.. you did not get a pass either, despite already having a family" she said softly. " I am.. so sorry you've been forced into this.. however.. considering the circumstances.. how have you been doing?"

[Russel Jefferson]

As he was waking up slowly, Russel could tell that Hannah was feeling relieved that he was feeling alright. He felt glad that he was able to bump into her again after for a long time, even though this was an awkward meeting with his outer ears being cut off. He saw her giving him a worried look and he sighed, looking up at her with a small frown, trying to stay calm. He didn’t want to release any emotions telling her on what happened when he kissed Aoi back in that forced marriage event. He rather keep it a secret and not make him feel as though his martial status with Aoi was real. He did like Aoi in a platonic way. He heard her saying that she was glad to see him and he gave out a small grin as he was relieved to catch up. “Pleasure’s all mine, Hannah. Glad to see that you’re safe too.” He replied, while trying to get himself up.

He was stretching out his arms carefully and felt himself yawning. He felt as though the gas was stronger and stronger each time it was going onto him. Was that Asian lady putting stronger chemicals into the gas machine to the point where everybody was getting sleepy that quickly to the point where they cannot function for a little bit? This was getting ridiculous. Russel noticed Hannah’s reaction on his comment towards Tia and he could tell that she felt bad for him. “Yeah, I know. This place has messed up with people’s heads. Heck, I have to see my nephew being blind because of the stupid games.
I do have money for me and him better our bodies. I don’t care on much it costs.” He said, in a determined voice. He was willing to get out of this place alive to take care of business about getting David being back to normal.

He then was hearing her asking him on how he was doing. He had a lot to say. Better to catch up now. He gave her a small sigh, feeling sad, tired, and angry. But, he didn’t want to scare her. So, he decided to keep calm and talk casually like a normal human being.

“Well, to be honest. I haven’t been doing well after I kissed that lady. Not going to say anything to Tia and the kids though. Once I got roomed with her, I had to let her down gently. I told her that I have a wife and kids. I think she understood after I whispered in her ear. She didn’t wake up. Probably she was exhausted so, I left her alone. I could tell that she felt a bit uncomfortable during the game too. I don’t blame her. Once I saw David with his eyes being blinded, I felt nothing but empty. He survived a game with his friend, and it was still a bad result. I did meet other people here and there. I also ran into Andrina, one of my old students who sadly didn’t make it. I think she fell into a deathly slumber due to the gas. To be fair, I just want my life to be normal again... how about you?” He answered in the most honest way possible. He just had to express everything with no tears whatsoever. A brave and honest face did the trick in this case.

[Hannah van de Berg]

At the mans reply hannah could not do anything other then smile at her friend. Charming as ever even with this thing going on and having damage to his ears. She just prayed that it was not also a damage to his hearing. Hannah noticed the man was also happy to see her. Or to see a familiar face at last. The brunette felt the same way. Her time with Geoff had brought her some clarity and she only now hoped that she would see many familiar faces again all safe and well.

As the man got up hannah made her way over to the desk as she leaned against it a bit. It looked sturdy enough to say the least. As he began to tell about everything that happened she had to dig deeper into her brain. What other jeffersons did she know. There was this student who shared the same name with her. She knew her brother was in this place as well. David. Had he been talking about him? She did not know the man or the young female well enough to know they were related to Russel. " I am so sorry to hear that.." she said as she truly did feel horrible. Not only was he stuck here, he was also blind. that must have been twice as scary.
Hearing the fire in russels voice somehow made her feel a bit glad. Luckily the man had not lost his passion and will to fight yet. " I am sure there must be something we can do for you and your nephew." she said as she nodded. This was not the end. "I did not want to ask but. do you mind me asking how bad it is.. is it your ears or.. also your hearing?" she asked fearing the worst. He was in the music world. Losing his hearing would be terrible.

Hannah nodded in understanding as she heard what he was saying about having to forcefully marry aoi and kissing her. " knowing Tia.. I think she is worried sick.. and if you were to explain anything to her she would understand that none of it meant anything" Hannah assured her friend. "I won't say a thing so no need to worry about that. No that is not my story to tell. I can only imagine how bad that must have felt." she said softly as she really felt for him. He was already married, happily may she add. And to have that broken up by some delusional matchmaker? That must be unbelievably painful.
Hannah was glad that the, according to geoff, sweet and shy girl was in "good hands". Russel meant her no harm that was sure. She was safe with him as a friend, an ally.
When Russel mentioned his student dying her eyes sort of automatically drifted off to the memorial on the desk. Seeing the added names her heart seemed to drop for a second. Many names had been added. Her eyes widened a bit. The list it was .. too long. It should not even excist but.. Seeing this made her feel sick. " Jessica and I have made a memorial here." she said after some time. "If you want.. we could add Andrina to it. she does not deserve to be forgotten."

As he asked her how she was hannah weakly smiled and shrugged. " I ehm.. I supposed I was spared a lot because of my marriage at the beginning." she admitted. " I was the first one to get married of and Geoff rightfully so noticed that we might be here because our kidnapper sees us as the example couple" she said as she looked away. " Lets just say that comparing to you, I have been lucky.." she said softly.

[Russel Jefferson]

He noticed that she was glad to see him again after all these years. It may have been a long time since they were seeing each other in teachers conferences or just having casual conversations in the hallways. He still remembered her helping out with the banners and other events related to his son’s concert halls to raise money for Autism. He could tell that she was trying to stay positive at least. Russel on the other hand was determined to get out. He didn’t meet a lot of people sadly except for Freida, Cameron, Evan, Ethan, and even Aoi. He did get others who had a hard time getting up from the damn gas. While she was listening, he heard her apologizing to him that he had to kiss another lady. He sighed and shook his head. “Well, it is what it is. I had to do it or else I would’ve been dead or shocked. But, thank you for your empathy. But, hearing my former student being dead shattered me and David being blind shocked me. I’ll be fine. I appreciate it.” He said, with a soft look going upon his face, trying not to show too much sadness or fear.

He was hearing her encouragement that he and David should be better and there was something the family could do. Russel nodded at her and gave her a soft grin. At least she knew that he had determination. “Yeah, I know surgeons may have cost a fortune to get David’s eyes to go back to normal. As for my ears, I can still hear, thankfully. It does not hurt actually if I don’t touch them.” He responded, while answering her question about his ears. “I can get surgery for that easily. It’s just a cosmetic thing.” He said, shrugging his shoulders.

The conversation transitioned into the worst part, kissing another woman. At least he didn’t have sexual relationships with this lady. He was hearing her mentioning that Tia could be focusing more on worrying about her husband not coming home and understand him trying to get out of being dead. He nodded at that gently, however, he still didn’t want her to know anything about kissing Aoi. He sighed once again with fear. He knew that Tia would be furious as women would be if husbands would cheat on them while being in a long marriage already. “You really think so? I’m really nervous on coming clean to her and the kids..” he said, feeling sweat coming upon his body. He had to pretend in his head that he was doing this for a prize on Broadway or anything across those lines.

He was hearing Hannah mentioning that she wouldn’t tell Tia and he nodded, having a sigh of relief, even hearing her empathy towards him having that “marriage act.” “Thank you, Hannah. Let’s keep this between us. I do feel horrible on kissing another woman. Tia is the only woman for me, not Aoi. At the same time though, I didn’t want to die. To be honest, it was hard. I didn’t want to do it..” he said, with a small sigh, still feeling so much regret. He didn’t know on what to say to Tia later when he got home. But, as long as the beans didn’t spill out, things should be fine.

The conversation went to Andrina’s death, a tragedy which hit him pretty hard. He was seeing her reaction to this, maybe other deaths she was hearing around when the rooms got switched after dealing with gas? This was honestly getting out of hand regarding on how many deaths the lady was causing. Russel heard her offer to put Andrina's name onto the memorial and he felt his heart beat rapidly. He could imagine that her mother would be heartbroken to hear about her daughter’s death; The memorial idea did sound like a beautiful idea though. “I would love that, as she was a lovely student. I enjoyed tutoring her, especially when she wanted to learn the saxophone.” He said, feeling bitter sweetness going onto him, having that happy memory. Russel then was hearing her talk about her marriage making her feel a bit more happier.

This was honestly a bit shocking to hear about. How could one expect an arrange marriage to cause happiness? Would it be more shocking than bringing love into the picture? Russel felt his eyebrow raising with a bit of a shocked value. “Really? An example couple? That’s interesting. I thought an arranged marriage would cause problems since you don’t know the person from your past or anything.” He said, with a small look of concern. “So, whose the lucky guy?” He asked, with a small chuckle. He was at least glad to see his friend happy with someone that could make her feel secure at least. He was glad to see her get lucky with someone who could bring happiness into her life. “Yeah, I ended up kissing another lady....” He said, with a small sigh again, feeling remorse.

[Hannah van de Berg]

Hannah listened to him as he tried to excuse his actions. The brunette just nodded. He did not have to explain his actions to her since she knew what those lovely shock bracelets felt like herself. Though she assumed it was the same as when she had tried to talk about lydia's death. That whole card event. The woman had tried to push it to the back of her mind. She had tried to excuse herself by saying she was married to geoff, ofcourse she would pick him to team with. But a little part of her was still thinking how things would have went if geoff had gone into deans taunts and pick him to prove he was innocent. The only person she knew was Huxley and he was her second choice. It felt like she had cheated death once again but this time at the expense of someone else. Slightly shaking her head to herself she tried to not think like that. Everyone made their own choices. The only one to blame was their captor.

" Ofcourse, you had no choice.. At this point its all about staying alive.." she mumbled softly as she looked at Russel. " I sure hope you will be fine.. I mean even if it is just a cosmetic thing and you have enough money to help david, the mental scars might not be as easily fixed.." She said softly. Seeing a student lose her life and his close family being blinded must have some effect on the man. Yet here he was. Calm and collected. It was the first time hannah felt the need to help someone but they seemed to be more calm then she was.

At that moment hannah saw some concern peek through the mans expression. She slowly nodded. "ofcourse I think so. It might be something to just tell tia once you feel ready. The only thing the kids need to know is that you are safe. Tia however.. Knowing her I think she would want to hear the truth eventually. She will understand you did not have a choice. I am sure the two of you will be able to work things out like you have always done" she tried to take away some of his concerns. The worst thing he could do was lie. But perhaps that was just her view on things.

Hannah looked at the man seeing he got a bit nervous, but he thanked her none the less. She nodded. "No problem Russel" she said. "And I believe you, you have been nothing but good to your wife and I am sure she will see that as well. I'm sorry though you had to go through that." she added. If there was one good thing about being sort of sheltered it had to be that she had gone into this place without any relationship. She could not imagine how hard all of this must be for him.

When Russel told her he would like andrina to be added to the memorial hannah could not do anything but nod. It was hard to see how much this pained him. She picked up the crayon she and Jessica had left and looked at the paper. She recognized the handwriting of the added names to be katherine's. She bit her lip thinking about her friend as she could only hope that her marriage to dorian kept both of her friends safe. Just as she hoped all the other couples would be spared the way she had been spared after marrying Geoff. "Do you want to add her name yourself?" she asked the man as she thought that it might give him some kind of closure. ofcourse it would not make things right but he might feel at least a little bit as if he could have done something for his dear student.

When she looked back at Russel she noticed the shock on his face and could not help but be slightly puzzled. Did she say anything wrong? Or.. Hannah blinked a few times. "Oh no I mean.. Uhm. Since we were the first people to be matched in one of the event and the both of us have not defied her yet.. we might.." she sighed as it was hard to explain. "I meant that she might keep us around to prove to people , or herself, that she can do her job right." She said softly. " We did not know each other from before no, so it was strange to say the least." she admitted. She looked at her shoes. Did Russel judge her for actually developing feelings for someone she had just met..? Hannah took a deep breath before hearing his question. "Geoff." she said. " I was paired up with Geoff." she told Russel.

[Russel Jefferson]

As soon as he told Hannah on what happened to him, he could tell that Hannah went through a similar situation, like them seeing deaths, that changed their perspective on this damned place to being in room switches. Honestly, seeing deaths was scary enough. In the wedding case, he had no choice but to choose his random "bride" and he had to friendzone her. He wasn't sure if she like-liked him. But, in the end, he only chose his only Tia. It was honestly the kidnapper's fault for causing everyone to panic in the first place. He really didn't meet a lot of people who got captured as well except for Evan, Hannah, and a couple of others.

He was hearing her mentioning that she had to stay alive while he had no choice but, to kiss Aoi. She did have a point on that for sure. He didn't want to kiss another lady. If only a family member of his crashed the wedding between him and Aoi. That would be an only way out but, he didn't want to die. Hearing her sweet voice about him being alright regarding his ear being cosmetic and him getting money to help him and his nephew being better made him feel better about things. At least someone gave him some positivity which was nice for sure. He knew that he had enough money to take care of the physical scars. As for the mental ones, he definitely would have to move forward from this after he escapes from this hellhole, even seeing a therapist to help him feel better. "These mental scars about what happened in this damn place will go away eventually. I might as well see a doctor. I won't say anything to Tia. I don't know what she's going to think. What will I tell the kids..." He started to mumble a bit, feeling a deep sigh coming out his mouth. He was feeling calm about things though. He knew that Andrina would've lived a better life instead of dying young. She would've gone to a school for her graphic design degree.

Why would that Asian Bitch kill her? That's the question. He would have to even get some money to save up for his and David's surgery. He was hearing Hannah mentioning that Tia and the kids would need to know as to why he was away from home. That was an honest truthful answer. He would have to tell the kids, even though it would be difficult. Russel felt another sigh coming from his mouth, knowing that telling his family everything won't be easy. It would have him have tearful moments to him regretting that wedding moment. The first thing that he had to do was take off that plastic ring and throw it away as soon as he gets out. He was hearing her having hope about him and Tia working things out, and she was right. Couples do have disagreements for sure. He felt a happy tear coming from his eye. He remembered those words "For better or for worse" from his wedding vows when he married Tia and felt more happy emotions. He felt excited to go back home now and say loving things to his wife.

He looked up at her and nodded with a hopeful sigh and took her hand in his and held it tight, looking into her eyes. "Thank you so much, my friend. You're a wonderful companion. As soon as I get home, I will be telling my family I love them, especially to Tia. I will play with Andrew and make sure he is the best musician. I will tell my girls to be happy and make sure Olivia and my other daughter will be charming, just like Tia. As for Tia, telling her the truth will be hard, but, being honest is better than telling a lie. You're right, Hannah. Thank you." He said, giving her a bear hug, feeling tears coming down his eyes. He never felt this emotional in a long time. "Thank you... for believing in me and my wife. I am so honored that we were partners in our jobs. I'm happy we met in that meeting." He murmured, feeling a bit more calmer.

He released her from the hug and saw the crayon, hearing her question about him writing her name himself on the paper. He nodded and sighed, with a smile. "I would be honored, as her former teacher." He said, and stared to write her name feeling a tear coming down from his eye again. Writing her name honestly made him feel a bit emotional considering that he won't be seeing her achieve her dream. Honestly, this was very unfortunate but, he will always remember her optimism. Russel was then hearing her being paired with Geoff and he was raising his eyebrow, proving that the matchmaker does know on what she's doing. He rolled her eyes on the killer marrying people to "set an example". She was forcing people into marriage and it was life or death at this point. "I hope that Geoff really treats you well. He sounds like he's a good man for you. What's Geoff like? I would like to meet your husband. Maybe we could have a double date?" He offered, being happy that she found someone, even though by force.

[Hannah van de Berg]

Hannah looked at her friend as she hoped she was able to make him feel atleast a bit better. They had not spoken in a while, partly because hannah was bad with texting people, often thinking they did not want to talk to her since they were already too busy. Well if she had learned anything in this god forsaken place she knew that once they got out of here she would keep contact with those she cared for, even dorian who she knew would be awfully busy like always.

"These mental scars about what happened in this damn place will go away eventually. I might as well see a doctor. I won't say anything to Tia. I don't know what she's going to think. What will I tell the kids..." Hannah looked at Russel when he said this. He looked extremely troubled and she could not say this was strange in the slightest. He was put in a really bad spot as he was already married. Though Hannah would stand with her words. Tia deserved to know. The kids would perhaps get the general idea and they did not need to know the gruesome details. Tia however was the mans wife and hannah was sure she would want to help her husband through this. If their relationship was good tia would know the kiss did not mean something. But that was hannahs view on the matter. The choice was up to Russel. And it seemed he had made his choice.

Hannah looked at their hands and looked back up to her old friend. She smiled seeing some kind of relief in his eyes.

Hearing his small speach about what he would do once he got home truly made her emotional. She could only smile at him while he spoke about his family. Russel was such a kind and sweet man. There was no doubt in her mind that her friend was a great husband and family man in general. " that is beautiful Russel.." she said as she just wished the man would get out of this place and could go back to his family.

As she felt how he wrapped his arms around her to give her a hug she could not, not return the hug. She held him as well glad that she could have helped him with her advice. She could feel some tiny drops of water fall on her shoulder. Was he crying? " oh goodness russel ofcourse I do. I Have no doubts in my mind that you and Tia are made for eachother. And the honour is all mine. Youre one of the nicest most positive people that I have met. That really is something special. Especially in a place like this.."

As they let go of eachother hannah could not help but give him a small smile as she tried her best to not get emotional by his kind words too. She was really glad to see him again. She gently handed him the crayon as she moved out of the way for him to write down her name. Seeing him get even more emotional hurt her but this was good. He was grieving.. he had to. Her throughts moved to noah. He had been so silent and so sad when they were roomed together. How was he doing? Had he allowed himsef to grieve as wel?

Hannah let the man take his time as she gave him some space. After some time he asked her about geoff. He still looked a bit skeptical. She understood why though.
"He does" she assured him. "I was lucky" she added. The idea of a double date was actually kind of cute. "Well.. Geoff and I realised that after spending time together that we actually do like eachother.. but we want to sort of start over once we get out of this place.. find out what we could be in a healthy way" she explained.

[Russel Jefferson]

Looking up at her, he bit his lip, hoping that they knew each other for a bit, they could at least keep in touch after this damned place was over. At least they could continue to do do work together for Andrew's concerns to raise money for his disability. After he would get out, he would kiss Tia and hug his whole entire family, still being determined to take care of them as a father should. He regretted that night when he and Tia had an argument over not spending enough time with them due to the fact that he was too busy with his concerts. He knew that Tia still loved him, no matter what happens. "Till death to us part..." He thought in his head. He was hearing Hannah's reaction about his promise on telling everyone what happened. He gave out a long sigh of content, since in the end, he loves his family and she was right. Telling the truth was better than lying. Lying and keeping secrets would be worse, ending in a divorce for sure.

While hugging her, she was saying that he was the most positive person that she ever met, and even complimenting the marriage between he and Tia. That was the most lovely thing that he heard in a long time. "Being with Tia and the kids mean a lot to me. I miss them so much. I love Tia with all my heart. I want my family to be happy again." He whimpered, while saying those words. He really missed being with his family at this point. He just wanted to get out. After releasing their hug, he saw her smiling at him, trying to stay positive as well, which is a good thing. As he was writing Andrina's name, he felt emotional, but, in the end, grieving a death was important. He missed her and he wished that she could get out of the place and live her dream. He wished that her fate didn't end so deadly.

The conversation went to Hannah talking about her and Geoff, but, he was skeptical about the situation. He was listening to her talk about him and her spending time together, which was a good thing. At least they got a chance to spend time together and getting to know each other after the marriage game. He was hearing her even mentioning that they actually liked each other and he felt his concern go into happiness. He took her hand into his and clasped it into his. "Please, promise me. That Geoff will treat you right after we get out. I think he is the right one for you. Finding out about each other is very healthy. I agree with your decision about getting to know one another. I'm proud of you for finding someone, my friend." He was very content about her finding a soul mate in this damned place.

[Hannah van de Berg]

Hannah looked up when Russel gently got her hands. She looked at him when he spoke. A small smile formed on her lips. It was truly beautiful russel gave her his blessing like that. That he wished her the best. It made her feel even more like she should have just reached out to him more often. She missed this. She had missed all the people she had come to care about. She missed freyas bright smile and her asking advice on her portfolio. She missed katherines beautiful laugh and teasing tone while getting coffee at their favourite cafes. She even missed dorian calling her "miss" all the time while making her feel a lot older then she actually was. She missed Geoff and their dumb jokes and warm embraces, his presence in general. She missed Nicholas and his horrible sense of fashion even if they only met briefly. She was concerned for noah and wished she could have done more to help the poor man.

She looked at Russel. "I missed talking to you" she admitted as she gently squeezed his hands a bit. "It's been way too long and .. I would like to see You, Tia and ofcourse your kids more often. I have been.. scared to call in all honesty" she admitted. She had decided to be honest so she might as well tell everyone how much they actually meant to her. "I was scared that I would be bothering you since you are so busy to begin with" she explained. "And charity work is not the same.. I love being there to help but those 5 minutes of time we have to talk was not enough" she said with a chuckle. She wanted to know how he and the family were doing more often.
" i would like to reconnect some more when we get out of this place. If that is okay with you"

[Russel Jefferson]

Russel could tell that Hannah that she was feeling a bit nostalgic and started to miss people. She must have met a lot of people while being stuck in the place and she might have met a lot of young students. Russel was a teacher as well, and as much as he missed his family, he was missing teaching as well and performing concerts. He did meet a couple of other people in the place, including David's friend, Evan, and hoped that he could visit whenever David comes over again in the future. He just wanted to be a happy man he once was at home, but, he was at least trying to stay positive this whole time. He wanted to stay positive for Hannah, Evan, David, and his family in general. He just wanted to think about his family, even humming to his favorite artists.

He was hearing that she really missed him while making conversations. He felt his hands being squeezed by hers and he felt his heart beat with such joy. He missed talking to his co-workers around the school building. He was hearing her saying that she wanted to see his family, including Tia and catch up with everybody and his eyes brightened. He was raising his eyebrows, well, more of shock and chuckled a bit. "Hey, don't be silly. I may be busy with my teaching, spending time with my family, and taking care of the band, but, I would love for you to visit. Don't be afraid to keep in touch with me, Hannah my friend. I would love to catch up with you and I love on what you made for my son. Andrew loves your artwork. He appreciated everything you did to help out with the charity work." He said, having a giant smile.

He was hearing her mentioning about charity work preventing them time to just simply chat. He laughed softly while hearing that. "Hey, we are partners. We get to spend time and talk. So, no worries. We're making my son happy, that's all it matters. But, I can feel you. Having charity work is hard for sure. At least we're doing it for a good cause." He replied. He then was hearing her offer on reconnecting with one another. He nodded as soon as he heard that. "Yes, I would love to reconnect with you as well." He answered with a nod.
