When Esmeralda woke up, it was already afternoon. They were used to her schedule. All they had to do was send breakfast to her room in the morning, she would eat and go back to sleep. They didn't try to wake her up.
When Esmeralda came downstairs, she saw how the air of the house had changed. Her mom was in the kitchen. Angela was cleaning utensils and Ethan was wiping them with a cotton cloth and putting it in the right drawers.
She had lived with her parents so many times yet she didn't know where she was supposed to place the right things but he who came for the first time to visit her family knew everything about the kitchen all of a sudden.
Wait, this was not the right question. What was he doing in their kitchen? Shouldn't he be doing his office? What was he doing in her kitchen? Most of all, why was his mom talking so gently with him?
