"Lucius?"
A female voice called him, and he looked back. It was Ivory.
Not expecting her to come from the hallway, he was confused. He asked her, "Where have you been?"
"Oh, we bought some bread," she gave him a basket of bread consisting of baguettes, bagels, croissants, and breadsticks.
Lucius carefully took the basket, wondering what the occasion was and why she'd buy that much. He examined his sister's appearance, and she appeared to be better. It seemed like his presence did not bother her anymore, so he decided to give it a shot and ask her, "Would you like to have breakfast with me?"
He was surprised when Ivory immediately nodded at him. What could have changed her attitude towards him?
Whatever it was, he was relieved. He thought his sister would not forgive him forever.
