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

But last time, she had to sit on the carpet to maintain a sense of propriety. Now, though, she could comfortably lie on the bed, propped up by cushions, and watch a movie 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.”
