32 I Can Feel It

It was already noon time. Clarence was facing his laptop, reading emails when he received a call from his mother.

"Son, where are you now? How is Beauty?"

"We're still in Leonard's house. Beauty is doing fine. She's still sleeping right now."

"Still sleeping? It's already lunchtime."

"Actually, we were so busy ever since we arrived here. Leonard asked us to be the party planner and cooks for Grandpa George's birthday last night. A short storm came the night before, and we had to salvage a lot of things until daybreak came. In short, we're dead tired."

Claire hummed from her end of the line. "But you seem energetic?"

"I'm still sleepy, Mom. Leonard woke me up an hour ago for the key to the house where we'll be staying."

"Where is the house located?"

"Adjacent to the villa."

"I thought it was in a different location."
