It was the next morning.
When Summer woke up, there was nobody by her side. Had Leonardo gotten up?
"You're up." Leonardo's voice suddenly sounded in the room.
Summer turned her head and saw Leonardo on the sofa not far away. Leonardo was in a suit. He had obviously gotten up for a long time. He leaned against the back of the sofa with his legs crossed and a stack of documents on his knees.
It was obvious that he had been reading the documents in the room and waiting for Summer to wake up.
Summer asked, "What time is it now?"
Probably worried about bothering her, Leonardo did not draw back the curtains, but turned on a small lamp instead. The room was exceptionally dark.
"Ten o'clock." Leonardo said. He put the documents on his lap aside and walked towards Summer. Leonardo sat beside Summer and asked, "What would you want for breakfast?"
"Surprise me." No matter how delicious the food was, Summer would not be able to appreciate its flavor now. She did not care much about food.
When she went downstairs, Summer did not see Rosie.
She turned to look at Leonardo. Before she said anything, Leonardo guessed what she wanted to ask and explained, "Rosie has been staying at home for a while. I asked Carl to take her out."
Summer was stunned for a moment, and then she nodded, "That's good."
Only she and Leonardo had breakfast.
Leonardo told her to have more when Summer put down her chopsticks. Other than that, they didn't say anything else.
They kept silent until the breakfast was over.
