“Here.

This one’s brand new.

Put it on.

”

Carlow took it with gratitude.

“Thanks a bunch.

”

“No problem.

”

Haleigh’s eyes glistened with tears as she looked at him.

As Carlow disappeared into the bathroom, Karina turned to see Haleigh’s watery eyes.

Quickly, she wrapped her in a hug.

“Haleigh, what’s wrong?”

“Seeing Carlow makes me miss my nephew.

It’s nothing,” Haleigh sniffled, wiping her eyes.

Karina stayed quiet, giving Haleigh a comforting pat on the back.

In the bathroom, as Carlow peeled off his T-shirt, he overheard their conversation.

Gazing at his reflection in the mirror, he let out a sigh.

Adjusting his attire meticulously, Carlow stepped out of the bathroom.

“Thanks a bunch for the outfit, Haleigh.

Fits like a charm.

”

Haleigh stole a quick glance at him, struck by the uncanny resemblance he shared with her Late nephew, a pang of emotion welling up inside her.

“You look just like him.

”

“Haleigh, who am I reminding you of?” Carlow asked.

“My nephew,” Haleigh replied quietly.

“Does he not come around often?”

“No, he’s passed on.

”

A flicker of regret crossed Carlow’s face.

“I’m sorry to hear that.

”

Collecting herself, Haleigh managed a small smile.

“It’s alright.

I appreciate your help today.

Care to stick around for dinner?”

Carlow’s grin spread across his face, genuine and inviting.

“Why would I say no? I’m an orphan who has had his fair share of life’s twists and turns.

Your hospitality makes me feel Like home.

”

Hearing he was an orphan, Haleigh was touched.

She remembered her late nephew, who also lacked the warmth of family, a wave of empathy washing over her.
