9. (one last kiss) Caroline and Norman

She grasped his hand with both of hers because just his one hand dwarfed her own. He murmured he was sorry, said he had to go. Caroline didn't know what to think; her husband somehow failed the gym leader's test, her son came back to her after a playdate with Sapphire bleeding heavily above his right eye and now Norman was leaving to someplace unknown and without a clear reason why. Caroline reluctantly lets go of his hand and buttons Ruby's collar. She and her son watch him go off into the sky. Caroline sighs. She didn't even get a kiss good bye.
