Molly and Boris were already asleep by the time they got home.
Claude and Billy's doors were closed shut. Cathy made a shushing gesture at Nina and tiptoed back to her room.
Nina didn't understand her because she had never experienced this before.
She switched on the lights openly and casually changed her shoes before returning to her room and shutting the door.
Green Wolf was still lying next to her backpack like a dutiful guard.
Nina led Green Wolf out into the yard for a short walk before returning to her room to take a shower. She changed into a loose cotton nightgown. The collar was loose and revealed half of her shoulders. Her skin was snow-white with a tinge of light pink.
She took out the old-fashioned phone with no network function again and rubbed her thumb against the gadget for a moment as if hesitating. After a long time, she put the phone back into her backpack.
"Little Green, switch off the lights." Nina laid on the bed.
