Zoey sat on her bed, staring at Ozzy, feeling an odd sense of familiarity with it but couldn't quite place where she had seen it before. She got up and left the room.

Downstairs, she purposely peeked into the living room, noticing that the security guard who usually stayed there had disappeared.

She then returned to her own place. Her parents were off on a vacation, leaving her all alone in the house.

It was already evening when she turned on the lights inside.

She had just changed her clothes when the doorbell rang.

Looking through the video intercom, she saw Nolan.

"Ms. March, I brought food."

He was holding a small tray with two containers of food on it - one larger, one smaller.

Zoey hurried to open the door and took the tray from him.

Fitch really should know better than to have a little kid carry trays around.

"Nolan, is your hand tired?"

Nolan glanced around the house, his eyes sparkling.

He stepped into what he considered his mom's living space.

His cautious demeanor made Zoey feel a pang of guilt.

Holding the tray in one hand and guiding him with the other, she led him to the dining table.

Nolan looked up at her, his eyes welling up, making him look like a little bunny.

Zoey lifted him onto a chair and uncovered the tray.
