"Norris, what happened?" Tilly Flower's voice came from the phone.
"Ava's not feeling well, I'm taking a week off for her."
Tilly reacted with an "Oh", asking with concern, "What happened to Ava?"
"Nothing." Norris Moore gave her a brief answer. "She's just a bit exhausted. A few days of rest should do the trick.".
Tilly replied, "That's fine. I'll grant her a week off. You're also free now. You two should take a good rest."
Norris made a sound of acknowledgment, then lowered his eyes and hung up the phone.
As night falls, the international city is resplendent and dazzling at this moment.
She stood by the window in the cold wind, the warmth of her body gradually replaced by the chill, as if her heart was also slowly freezing into ice.
She felt very cold.

Norris stayed up all night and rushed off to an announcement the next day. He returned at noon with lunch for Ava.
