Souls that cross

Chapter 4

Andy was sleeping when her phone started ringing, seeing Robert's name he answered immediately thinking it was a business call
R: I'm sorry I woke you up
A: quiet
R: I have to ask you something
A: ask me
R: It's embarrassing ... Olivia is ... well I mean ... her things have come to her ...
A: ohhh understood, I come to help you.  Doing nothing without me will risk traumatizing her
R: thank you really don't know how to thank you
About 40 minutes later Andy and Nathan arrived at Robert's house.
R: Thanks again Andy. She's in the bathroom of her room. I just told her you were on your way
A: Robert quiet I'll take care of it, you can stay with Nathan
R: certainly
Andy went upstairs and knocked on Olivia's bathroom door
A: Hi Olivia, I'm Andy
O: hey Andy;  are you here to help me?
A: sure, can I enter?
O: yes ... just don't judge me
A: quiet.  I don't judge
Andy walked into the bathroom and explained to Olivia what was happening to her body and answered all her questions
O: thanks for coming;  Dad probably would have made a mess
A: I think so too.  Come on, let's go back downstairs
Andy was standing in front of Olivia and when she came downstairs a small smile grew on her face to see her son playing with Robert
N: why are you laughing?
A: you too are laughing
R: he told me about when you fell asleep while watching a movie
A: I was tired that evening
O: dad can I go to the garden?
R:sure
N: mom can I go too?
A: yes
R: how did you go with Olivia?
A: well, I answered her questions and clarified her doubts
R: Thanks, I really don't know how to thank you
A: you don't have to thank me ... I think I have to go it's almost lunchtime
R: eat here, I insist
A: ok ... we order something?
R: no no I cook
While they were eating they talked about how they would spend their day off tomorrow
R: what are you doing tomorrow?
A: I probably stay at home
R: Would you like to go on a hike all together
A: okay I like it as an idea
They finished eating and then Andy went home.

*the day after*
Andy and Nathan, after getting ready, went to Robert's house as they would then take his car to make a piece of the road.
When they arrived at the place of the excursion, they began to walk;  Nathan in front, Olivia behind him, Andy and finally Robert.  They had been walking for almost two hours when they came near the river, but to get to the shore they had to go down a small slope
N: mom look we are near the river
A: that's true
N: can we get close?
A: ok but we have to go down with caution
Robert went downstairs first, then Nathan got out followed by Olivia and finally Andy got out;  while he was going down Andy slipped
R: ANDY!
He hurried to get close to her
R: are you okay?
A: yes ... help me to get up?
He helped Andy to get up and all 4 went to the riverside, Andy was struggling to walk and limped a bit
R: are you sure you are fine?
A: yes I'm fine
R: you are limping
A: I know but now it passes
They stayed at the river for half an hour and decided to go back, they were going back to Andy continued to limp;  Robert picked her up and she complained
A: put me down I am perfectly able to walk
R: not now, we are almost at the car. I will carry you there in my arms and then we will go to the hospital
A: I'm fine, there is no need to go to the hospital
R: you are stubborn
A: I know
They got in the car and drove to the gray sloan, Dr. Gray checked Andy and then they gave her a diagnosis
Dott: good news luckily nothing is broken, you just have a sprained ankle;  you will have to rest for a week
A: ok thanks
Robert accompanied her home and he too came in to help Andy;  he prepared food for everyone and after dinner he made Nathan take a shower and then put him to bed.  He went back and helped Andy get into the shower, he sat on Andy's bed the whole time to get ready to go into the bathroom in case she got hurt;  Andy came out of the bathroom slowly and limping, she sat on the bed next to Robert resting her head on his shoulder
A: Thank you
R: I just returned the favor.  Come here I'll help you get into bed
He helped Andy get into bed and tucked her blankets
A: see you in a week
R: Don't push too hard on the ankle these days
A: I'll try
R: I'm going, Olivia fell asleep on the sofa
A: goodnight
R: goodnight Andy
He was leaving Andy's room when he turned to look at her, he was already sleeping so she decided to walk over and kiss her on the forehead;  she thought Andy hadn't heard it because she was asleep but she had heard it.
