In fact, this morning, Kristen had been so uneasy and anxious that she went to the door several times, trying to see whether Patrick had come back.
She wanted to do some reading, but she couldn't concentrate at all.
Without Patrick by her side, she became very uneasy and had been haunted by fear uncontrollably.
Then she told herself that Patrick was only away because he needed to work and that she must not disturb him.
Just like that, she kept waiting and waiting anxiously.
A few hours seemed as long as a century for her.
However, when she saw Patrick, she hid away all her fear since she didn't want Patrick to get worried.
"We'll have a casserole today."
Patrick said seriously, "Alec asked me to make a casserole."
Again, Alec had become the reason.
"Kristen, do you like it?"
"I like it."
Kristen nodded. "It is cold. And you've just come back. A casserole will make you feel warm."
