Rita sat with her legs crossed, near the huge glass window of the living room, watching the heavy rain that was falling outside.
Sounds of steady footsteps sounded behind her, and she slowly turned around to see who it was.
"Pretty." The person, who was obviously Mr. Adolpho, walked up to her and pulled her into a hug. "Why aren't you asleep?" He inquired as he took a seat beside her on the chair.
A low breath fled Rita's nose, and she turned her head to glance at him. "No reason, I just love to watch the rain." She half-smiled as she said it, and Mr. Adolpho nodded at her. He took deep breaths and crossed his legs. "Are you thinking about the engagement thing with Richard?"
Rita's eyes fluttered, and she slowly turned her head to stare at him. A simple smile formed on her lips, and she shrugged. "Yeah, I am... but not as much as before. I mean, I feel quite safe here with you."
