The day ran by, Nighttime came minutes after Steven had left, he'd intended to stay the night while Magritte took some time off, but Magritte hadn't agreed, she doesn't want me out of her sight again plus today is Sunday and Steven's got school tomorrow.
The only time Magritte left the room was to rush back home to get stuff that I would need while Steven stays with me the whole time. He'd talk and sing to me while I listened keenly and then applauded him later.

After having dinner, Magritte tucked me in bed before going to the restroom and my dad had kissed me good night. On his way out, his phone rang. I heard him say.
"What?". before stumbling out of the room. The tone of his voice was deeper and it sounded like something had happened by the way he hurried out and then locked the door as he left. Magritte had her card with her so she wouldn't get locked out whenever my dad leaves.
