Miranda stood in plain view of Paul as he quickly cleaned up the kitchen before heading into the bedroom.

The master bedroom had a projector with outstanding performance. She had previously used it to watch the Global Academic Exchange Conference with him.

The night deepened, and the moonlight was bright. By the time the movie ended, it was almost 11:00 pm. Miranda pulled off the thin blanket draped over her. “I’ll go horne now.”
