Is that what you came to ask?" "No, I, uh..." Colle looks embarrassed, then blurts out, "I wanted to ask about the children. Mina and Jakin. Are they here every day?" "No. They come in their free time." He turns back to the desk. "Their week starts tomorrow, so they won't be here." "I see," she says, and he hears the door swing shut on her "thank you."
