Elliot was the first to wake up the following day because he was used to getting up early. Realizing his sister was still fast asleep beside him, Elliot got out of bed slowly, trying not to wake his sister. But his efforts were in vain because Lori woke up when she felt shaking from her bed.
"Morning, Eli."
"Morning," Elliot replied, kissing his sister on the forehead like he did every time he woke up.
Lori got out of bed to see Xavier's sleeping face but sighed in disappointment when she found no one besides Richsen. The boy was still sleeping soundly like a sleeping beauty who continued to sleep regardless of whether a world war or fire was happening around him.
Lori crawled over to Richsen, inflicting her twin's curiosity. "What are you doing?"
Lori stifled a giggle as she crawled closer to Richsen. Then she directed her index finger to press Richsen's smooth cheek like she was playing with a rubbery object by sticking her index finger.
