IMMORTAL HEART That day I lost my Treasure

That day I lost my Treasure

Genevieve

How do you like it? I got it a half price back at the convenience store.

Genevieve

Pretty Lucky, huh?

Genevieve

I guess part-time jobs have their perks.

Ray

...

Genevieve

What's wrong? You've Barely touched your food.

Genevieve

I thought lasagna was your favorite?

Genevieve

Sorry... I could only afford the ones you could reheat over the stove...

Ray

Lasagna's your favorite too.

Genevieve

I Know. like I said, Pretty Lucky--

Ray

Your portion's much smaller than mine, big sis.

Genevieve

Hm... I'm not really hungry.

Ray

That's a lie. You've been working extra hours with just a sandwich in your bag.

Genevieve

It's fine. I promise. Besides, you're a growing boy.

Ray

I wish I could work too.

I reached out and ruffle my beloved little brother's hair playfully.

Genevieve

No you won't.

Genevieve

You're going to rest up, get better, and then I'm going to have you working eight to five and still have time to give me a massage.

Ray

Will I even get better?

Ray

I'm always sick...

Genevieve

I'm sure you will someday.

Ray

But when will that happen? I want to help you too. I'm useless.

Genevieve

HEY!

Genevieve

Don't you go emo on me, kid. You're not useless... You're brilliant!

Genevieve

Look at those little gadgets you tinker with. I could never do that!

Genevieve

I bet you'll make a good enginer of inventor someday.

Ray

Someday...

Genevieve

Don't worry about it! The way you're now is enough to make me happy.

Genevieve

Now eat thay lasagna before it gets cold.

Ray broods for a bit then spoons the pasta into his mouth. In just a few bites, it has already disappeared.

I smiled fondly.

Genevieve

💭: (Don't worry mom and dad... I'll take care of him. please, watch over us.)
