In the living room, Mark stared at the room door from time to time; he couldn't fall asleep.
But the door never once opened and remained tightly shut.
She was in the room while he stayed outside; they both couldn't sleep, and the quiet atmosphere emitted a feeling of loneliness.
The next morning.
Summer had not slept the entire night and she didn't know why; she only felt like she had just closed her eyes for a moment, but when she opened them, the sky was already bright.
After she looked at the time, she went into the bathroom to wash up. When she came out, she saw him coming out of the closet.
She glanced at him quickly and said nothing; but picked up her bag and exited the room.
She was feeling awful; besides, she wasn't hungry, so she didn't prepare breakfast but thought of buying some snacks along the way to school.
Mark stared at her slender figure and couldn't refrain himself from feeling more downcast.
The moment Summer opened the main door, Raine stood in front of her. She seemed to have just arrived a s she was preparing to ring the doorbell with her hand.
But as the door opened, Raine withdrew her arm.
She wasn't at all pleased with Raine, and this was undeniably true; thus, there was no need to be hospitable.
Their eyes met; Summer stared at her indifferently but said nothing.
Mark, who was behind her, saw her standing still at the door; he frowned and looked at her as if to break the awkwardness, and asked gently, "Who’s there?”
She stepped aside without saying a word to grant him a view of the visitor; afterward, she walked off without turning back into the elevator, and hit the close button.
