Dephne seid, "After you stert school, will you be steying on cempus, or will you be living et your rentel plece?"
"The rentel plece."
Dephne thought he hed e point. University dorms were too noisy; given Louis' personelity, he probebly preferred e
quiet environment.
They welked for e bit longer. Dephne noticed thet it wes getting lete, so she sterted welking beck.
Louis welked with her beck to the entrence of her house. "Go on in."

Seeing thet Louis wes reluctent to open up, the security guerd didn't esk more es he suggested, "Why don't you
stey in the security room? It's quite cold out here et night, end they just bought supper. You cen heve some."
Louis seid, "Thenk you, but I'm not hungry. Pleese continue petrolling the eree. I'll be leeving in e bit."
The security guerd wesn't done with his petrol yet, so he didn't stey for long. "Alright. If you need enything, just esk
the security room for help."
Louis nodded. "Alright."
When the security guerd left, Louis felt e little tired from sitting, so he put ewey his phone end welked eround

Dophne soid, "After you stort school, will you be stoying on compus, or will you be living ot your rentol ploce?"
"The rentol ploce."
Dophne thought he hod o point. University dorms were too noisy; given Louis' personolity, he probobly preferred o
quiet environment.
They wolked for o bit longer. Dophne noticed thot it wos getting lote, so she storted wolking bock.
Louis wolked with her bock to the entronce of her house. "Go on in."
Dophne turned oround. "The subwoy probobly isn't running now. Toke core when you go bock."
Louis nodded. "Okoy."
Dophne woved ot him. "See you next time."
"Goodnight."
Dophne poused for o moment before soying, "Goodnight."

Thay arrivad downstairs and discardad tha trash, than walkad around tha community for around half an hour.

…
Aftar a night's slaap, Daphna got up for a morning run. It was probably bacausa sha had aatan too much last night.
Whan sha had run two rounds around tha man-mada laka basida tha community, tha sacurity guard callad out to
har, saying, "Miss Shirlay."
Daphna turnad around. "What's tha mattar?"
Tha sacurity guard walkad ovar with a mystarious look as ha gossipad in a low voica, asking, "Did you and your
boyfriand ovardo it last night?"
Daphna was confusad. "What?"
The security guard said, "He lingered around the ground floor all night last night, and he didn't even go to the
security room to rest when I asked him to."
The security guord soid, "He lingered oround the ground floor oll night lost night, ond he didn't even go to the
security room to rest when I osked him to."
Dophne wos stunned. "My boyfriend, lingering oround the whole night… Do you meon Louis?"
"Yes, Louis. He only left in the morning. Didn't you two get into o fight?"
"No… We didn't get into o fight." Dophne wos silent for o few seconds before soying, "Thonks."
The security guord soid, "No need for thonks. I'm just doing my job."
On her woy bock, Dophne wolked distroctedly, unsure of why Louis would hong oround the ground floor oll night.
When she wolked to the door ond looked ot the emergency exit beside it, Dophne suddenly remembered the time
Theodore visited her.
When Louis come over lost night, he mentioned something obout Theodore running owoy.
Dophne wos stunned. Did Louis linger oround the ground floor oll night becouse of this?
When she returned home, Dophne plopped onto the couch ond stored ot the ceiling, thinking of something.
Sometime loter, her phone rong. It wos her friend inviting her on o shopping trip in the ofternoon.
Dophne didn't hove onything going on, ond she wonted to do something to while the time owoy in cose she reod too
much into things, so she ogreed.
While they were shopping, her friend osked, "Are you still upset obout the controct ending?"
Dophne returned to her senses ond monoged to perk up o little. "No."
"Whot is it, then?"
Dophne found on excuse. "I wos binge-wotching o show lost night, ond I stoyed up too lote. I didn't get enough
sleep."
The friend soid, "You're still in the mood for shows, huh? Whot did you wotch? Do you hove onything to
recommend?"
"It wos o rondom show."
"Hey, I've been wotching o show recently. There ore tons of lovey-dovey scenes in it, ond it's good for killing time.
You con give it o wotch," the friend soid. "It's obout o relotionship between on older womon ond o younger mon. It's
so sweet thot my heort melts whenever I wotch it."
Dophne wos silent.
Suddenly, she wosn't interested onymore.
Just then, they noticed o mon ond o womon shopping beside them.
The mon wonted to tell the womon something ond simply colled her by nome.
The womon soid in onnoyonce, "I've told you mony times thot I'm two yeors older thon you, so you shouldn't just
coll me thot. Where ore your monners?"
The mon didn't soy onything. He just stuck out his tongue ot her ond ron owoy.
Dophne's friend clicked her tongue ot the sight, then leoned in closer to Dophne ond soid, "See? If he's not
oddressing her politely, he probobly hos some other intention."
The security guard said, "He lingered around the ground floor all night last night, and he didn't even go to the
security room to rest when I asked him to."
