Rudy wanted to go to bed and have a nice sleep, but he thought he should let Lucy know that he was home.
He decided to go downstairs while making minimal noise of his footsteps descending the stairway.
'I might as well eat.'
When Rudy reached the living room, he saw Rebecca sitting on the couch with an anxious look on her face.
"Mom? You didn't go to your night shift?" Rudy asked calmly.
Rebecca slowly raised her head and looked at Rudy.
"You are back…"
"Uhh… yes?"
"You have never been so late without informing me, so I thought something happened to you…" she muttered.
"Oh, come on. I sometimes never come home. And why were you even worried knowing nothing could happen to me?"
"Well…" Rebecca gulped down nervously and responded, "You left in anger in the morning, so I thought you were still mad at me…"
"Hmm…?" Rudy recalled Lilim's prank in the morning that led Rudy to burst out of the house.
"Right…" He glanced around the house and asked, "Where is Lilim? And… Lucy?"
