Phina was engrossed watching a film on the living room's enormous plasma television. Patrick had yet to return by ten o'clock. She had been waiting for him since he had called an hour ago to say he was on his way.
Her brother had gone to sleep in his room. Having watched movies nonstop since they woke up that morning, he was already getting tired of it.
They had been chatting, eating, and watching movies. During the day, Sara was occupied with the twins. They even went to her quarters but returned to the main home later to watch TV with them, albeit briefly.
She was relieved that they were content and joyful.
After the movie ended, she switched off the TV and used her phone to play a game while waiting for Patrick to return.
She heard footsteps approaching while still focused, and when she looked up, she saw Patrick entering the living room. She gave him a slight smile and got to her feet to meet him halfway.
