"I'd like to stay with you for a while. Is that okay?" Lily suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Sophia was momentarily stunned but nodded repeatedly, saying, "Of course, of course, you can stay as long as you want."

"I'll move out once I find a job."

"Find a job?!" Sophia stared at her in shock.

Was she suppressing her emotions because of overwhelming grief?

"Yeah, I've been out of work for a while. It's time to find something new." Lily nodded, her face showing no emotion, neither happiness nor sadness. "I'm going to take a shower now."
