After some thought, she retrieved her phone.
Throughout the day, other than feeling sluggish, Selena was constantly checking her phone. Although she tried to force herself to not check it, she realized she couldn’t do it. After spending a day in absentmindedness, it was finally time to go home.
Arriving at home, even Juniper noticed that something was wrong with her. “Mom, are you in a relationship?”
Selena nearly stumbled over when she heard that. Is it that obvious? Why’s everyone asking me the same question? she thought. “Juniper, you’re overthinking this.”
“But I have a feeling that you are.” Juniper scrunched up her nose.
“Of course not! Who do I even have around me? You should go to bed now!” To be honest, she lacked the courage to tell Juniper the truth. Perhaps she needed more time to plan her speech so that she could convince Juniper to accept her relationship with Pierre.
With a pout on her face, Juniper said, “Mommy, if you ever get into a relationship, you have to tell me, okay?”
“Sure.” Selena tucked her in. After Juniper fell asleep, she returned to her room, only to notice that her curtains were still drawn. Her bedroom was facing Pierre’s study, so perhaps she had forgotten to open them in the morning.
Sneaking behind the curtains, she took a peek out of the window, but was disappointed to find that he wasn’t standing in front of his window. “That b*stard!”
As soon as she cursed, her phone let out a beep. While she wasn’t holding out much hope, she checked her phone to see a message from Pierre. ‘Open the curtains. Look outside the window.’
