Luckily, there's a ledge underneath, else I might have truly plunged over the windowsill. Even if the fall doesn't kill me, it would've crippled me.
"Okay.” Finnick stayed by her side at all times, worried that she would once again suffer any harm.
Meanwhile, Benedict kept an eye on them both. When he was certain that everything was fine, he decided to drive and see them home.
"Vivian, I'll drive your luggage over, and you two drive home by yourselves." Benedict didn't want to intrude on them, so he proposed splitting up.
Vivian naturally knew his intention, so she merely nodded in acquiescence.
"I'll be going, then." After saying that, Benedict left when Vivian had murmured an acknowledgment.
Thus, it was only Vivian, Finnick, and Larry left in the house. Fortunately, Larry was with Finnick during Vivian's incident, else things might have been disastrous.
When Vivian and Finnick saw that Benedict had left, they quickly got ready to leave as well. Benedict was a guest, after all, so it was an affront if they were still tarrying elsewhere when the guest had already arrived at their house.
"Vivian, Larry, let's go." They all left after Finnick had gathered Vivian and Larry.
Noah, on the other hand, had left with Benedict to make some arrangements at home.
"Okay!" Finnick held Vivian and Larry's hands, one on either side of him.
At that moment, the family of three wore a blissful expression on their faces.
It had been a long time since Vivian had last gone back to Finnick's house.
I wonder if it's still the same - if there are still traces of me having lived there and whether the modifications I did remain.
Thinking of that, she couldn't contain the excitement within her and was eager to go home for a look.
Sensing her mood, Finnick sped up. Likewise, he couldn't wait for her to see that the house looked exactly the same as it did before she had left. Nothing had changed.
