[SKYLINE PLAZA: ZOREN's]

"Got it."

Penny slowly lowered the phone, her expression unlike what Angel had imagined. Her brows crinkled, her heart thudding in her chest. A slight tremor ran through her hand as she thought about what had happened to Patricia.

'That woman...' she mentally hissed. 'If I hadn't had her followed, she would've gotten herself killed.'

Although Patricia wasn't very significant in Penny's life, she was the epitome of a hassle. The type of side character who wouldn't add value, but at the same time could ruin everything with a single mistake.

"I'm back..." Suddenly, Zoren's voice cut through the air, trailing off when he caught the look on his wife's face. He slowly walked toward her, taking her arm and snapping her out of her thoughts. "Is everything alright?"

Penny looked up at him and smiled. "Mhm. Everything's alright."

"But it looks to me like it's not."

"It is alright. It's just that..." Penny hummed before smacking her lips. "Sit down, and I'll do your eyedrops."

"Mhm."

With her hand holding his, she led him to the chair near the window. As he sat down, his eyes followed her movements as she went to the bedside table, opening the drawer until she found what she was looking for. Penny flashed him a brief smile before walking back, sitting on the left armrest while he leaned back.

"You don't want to tell me?" he asked again, watching her position herself with the eyedrops in her hands.

"It's just Patricia Miller."

"What about her?"
