Shaking away the thoughts that swarmed his mind, he ran toward the door and banged on it furiously, causing the door to squeak as he yelled, “Open the door, let me out! I knew you guys are terrible people!

“Mommy…I—I miss you…” 

On the other side of the door, Albert choked on the words he meant to say to calm the boy.

In Ocean Path Residence, on the fifth floor of the building, the family gathered around the table with only a few casual dishes. 

Ollie looked at the dishes and noticed how spicy they were from the red color and the enticing scent. However, he scowled wordlessly at the sight because he usually preferred milder flavors.

Ollie paused mid-way as he was sipping the water, thinking, ‘Does this boy Miles like spicy food?’
