She opened the front door, soon realizing that the lights in the living room were turned on. Tiramisu came bounding toward her merrily before nuzzling against her legs.

Tiramisu grunted in response if it could speak, it would’ve complained to Hera that Bernard kept misbehaving throughout the day. Not only did he leave the apartment, but he also brought other visitors with him and kept Tiramisu locked up in its pen. Because of him, Tiramisu couldn’t even play in the living room.
