"My stuff?" Larkin seemed a bit confused, "You mean the old things I used to have?"
Mary shook her head, replying, "No, I mean the books you collected before. There were heaps of them. Took me forever to sort them out!"
Larkin's eyes widened.
Mary, oblivious to his astonishment, cheerfully ran off to find the Prior.
"My teacher kept the scriptures I collected myself." Larkin said to Erica, his eyes slightly teary.
Erica gently held his hand, "What did I tell you? He must have missed you during these past ten years."
Larkin looked at Erica, a faint smile on his lips, and nodded.
The Prior came over with the nun Mary after a while.
"Mr. Prior." Larkin called out.
The Prior bowed, "How are the lady and her baby you went to visit? Are they well?"
"Thanks for asking, the lady and her baby are doing great!" Erica replied energetically.
The Prior nodded, "Are you planning on volunteering here again?"
"Yep!" Erica nodded, "Sir, am I going to see Larkin’s teacher this time?"
The Prior lowered his eyes, not looking at Erica.
"You guys should settle down first. I'll talk to his teacher, the Abbot, about that," the Prior said, turning to Mary behind him, " take them to the canteen for dinner."
"Alright!"
Mary then hurried Erica and Larkin.
"Hurry up, if you miss the mealtime, there won't be any food left in the canteen!"
Before Erica left, she said to the Prior, "Whether we get to see Larkin’s teacher or not, it's all counting on you!"
The Prior was speechless.
This lady really thinks she's his old buddy!
