Moira stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, holding her cup, and gazed at the dark expanse in the distance. She couldn't help but tut.

It looked like it was going to rain for the better part of the day.

After a moment of watching the rain, she finished her drink, refilled her cup at the table, and planned to head upstairs to continue practicing the piano.

Moira nodded. "Yes, he's back."

"Should I prepare dinner earlier tonight?"

Moira considered for a moment. "No need, you just need to stick to your usual schedule."
