The sky was darkening. Luca looked at the time and saw that it was half-past six.

She could smell the fragrance of the food wafting out of the kitchen. The maid was almost done cooking dinner.

However, the sky…

Tommy noticed that Luca was looking out of the window. He leaned over and asked curiously, “What are you looking at, Ms. Luca?”

“It looks like it’s going to rain.” The sky was much darker than it should be at that hour. A storm should be coming.

“Oh, it really does look like it’s going to rain. I’ll go and take the laundry in.” Queenie glanced out of the window and immediately stood up.

“Let me help you, Mrs. Norman.” Luca also wanted to go upstairs.

On the second floor, Luca glanced at the room to their left. That was Jack’s study.

The door was ajar. Luke and Jack were inside talking about something.

Luca tried to tune in to the conversation. The two men were talking about antiques. After that, she went to the balcony to help Queenie take the laundry in.

The clothes on the balcony belonged to Jack, Queenie, and Leia. Luca reminded Queenie, “Mrs. Norman, those clothes…”

Queenie immediately understood. She turned around warily to see if Luke was watching her. Then, she put Leia’s clothes at the bottom of the laundry basket, then covered them with her clothes and Jack’s clothes.

The wind was becoming stronger, and it scattered Queenie’s hair. She looked at Luca and said, “Let’s go in, Luca. It looks like there’ll be a storm tonight.”

Luca looked at the sky. The clouds were low. If it started raining, no one knew when it would stop.

After they went inside, Luke and Jack happened to step out of the study.

“What happened to your hair?” Jack asked when he saw that the two women’s hair was scattered.
