Rupert's Drop
A few hours before midnight, the three of us—my sister, Iris, and I—gathered in the living room of the villa to talk about the things that would happen. In the meantime, we were having some late-night snacks and drinks to fill our stomachs with something other than problems.
"Thank you for allowing me to stay here, Miss Louise," Iris said as she was lifting her cup of coffee with the saucer. "If there is anything else I can do, I would gladly help you."
My sister was stunned by the arrival of Iris here earlier. She tried to persuade Iris to refrain herself from this, but Iris insisted that she wanted to. She was already here, so my sister let out a defeated sigh and let her come here with us. Also, Iris already told her brother about this before he even tried to stop her.
"Well, thanks, Iris," Big Sis responded awkwardly. "We are planning to stay here for several days; are you fine with that?"
