Sebastian raised his brows, watching his father take the phone call while leaving the room. He slowly sat up, eyes still on the shut door. He pressed his lips into a thin line before he mustered the courage to fling his legs out of the bed.
Carefully, he approached the door and placed his ear on it. He heard his father talking quietly before the sound of footfalls sounded distant. Sebastian peeled his ear from the door, twisting the knob to check outside. Upon peeking his head out, he caught his father walking away.
Sebastian pressed his lips together, closing the door quietly. As soon as the door shut closed, he turned around and smiled. Instead of going back to bed, he rushed to get a suitcase underneath the bed. Sitting on the floor, he opened up the suitcase which had a laptop in it.
