"Smooth talk."

Denver Petal laughed again, helplessly saying, "The past is too complicated to explain in a few words. I feel guilty towards her, and when it comes to emergency situations, there’s no way I could just sit by and do nothing. I promise that from now on..."

"Don’t promise." Olivia Williams raised her hand to cover his mouth, "Just show me."

Koa Jackson woke up naturally at six o’clock.

Mia Ginger was still asleep beside him, her small face pressed against his arm, almost squishing her nose and eyes out of shape.

Her fingertips tracing circles on him.

Koa Jackson let her draw, asking softly, "What do you want for breakfast?"

"There’s probably nothing to eat at home, right?" Mia Ginger frowned, giving him a glance, reminding him, "We only moved in last night."

Koa Jackson was momentarily stunned, then changed tack, "Then let’s go out to eat.
