For the past two days, Caroline had been staying at Leroy's house.
Although she had turned in the project report and program schedule with him yesterday, it had been a convincing alibi given his desire to include her in the team.
'Then... who said making friends is a bad thing?!'
This morning, it had been familiarly quiet and refreshing. It wasn't as sunny as in the novel she had read.
Around 5, she woke up.
The black shadow, which had fallen into a deep slumber, opened its narrow eyelids as soon as it sensed the situation and began to watch her.
Leroy, who hadn't woken up yet, hadn't even noticed her steps towards the bathroom, next to his bedroom door as she walked forward.
When she arrived, she quickly hugged the tattoo with her other hand, and moved to her space to shower after leaving it, as a form of shading.
