    However, she hadn’t driven today for the sake of convenience, and it just so happened to start raining.


    She considered messaging Lydia but hesitated and closed the chat.

    The only trash seems to be lingering at the doorstep.

    The expressions of those standing outside instantly soured.


    Eliana approached, attempting to diffuse the tension.
