It's Your Turn

I sat up abruptly, but Jennie had returned to her room with light footsteps.

As soon as the sun rose the next day when the night turned to daylight, Jennie acted her usual self without a hint of abnormality as if she had put on a disguise.

However, I kept staring at her with scrutiny and restlessness. It seemed like I was the paranoid one.

At the dining table, I pretended to be casual and asked, "Jennie... Do you sleepwalk?"

Richard replied firmly, "No, she's never sleepwalked before."

Jennie replied calmly and leisurely, "Maybe. Richard has always slept soundly, so he may not have noticed."

I shifted my gaze to Richard and asked, "Have you guys slept together before?"

Richard suddenly realized that they gave their answers too naturally without thinking. He was so flustered that he did not know how to explain it. He stammered, "Ah, n-no... W-We did not."
