Rules of Engagement

They chatted while walking. As a matter of fact, they weren't familiar with each other and there weren't many topics to talk about. They just talked about something they saw. After walking for twenty minutes, Elsa was exhausted and Soren was still chatting with her. She had no choice but to agree with him.

She forced herself to walk to the dorm, which nearly took her one hour. She pushed the door open. If it weren't for Soren, she would have directly slept on the bed to have intimate contact with her beloved quilt.

The two adjacent rooms were very quiet. The office of the newspaper started working earlier, and the staff had to clock in at the front desk at eight o'clock in the morning. They went out early as the office was officially confirmed at eight o'clock.

Elsa poured a glass of water and invited Soren to sit at the desk. Then she opened the closet to clean up. At present, she had to live in his house. She always needed a few sets of clothes to change in summer. However, when she looked around, she only got two black shirts and a white shirt.

On her desk, there were two pictures. One was taken with her friend and the other one was taken with her parents. She was all wearing big glasses with a charming smile on her face. Soren looked at her. She was packing up her things and sweat broke out on the bridge of his nose. She pointed outside and said to Soren, "have a seat and I'll go change my clothes."

Soren nodded. Seeing her walking out, he looked at her desk, on which lay many professional books about her work, but there were also many novels. One hundred year old loneliness, waiting to desolate, few going ways, tomb hunting notes, white rock, all kinds of colors were available, and there were several popular lady magazines which made her look sharp without being the dull female reporter with a pair of black rimmed glasses.

While he was thinking, he heard something hit on the door of the bathroom.

Soren frowned and walked to bathroom. He saw that her hair was tied up, revealing her two pink ears and her face was covered with sweat fighting with a pipe. Her pipe was broken, and she took off the old one and put the new one. Seeing Soren coming, she took a deep breath and said, "sorry, the tap didn't work. I'll be okay soon."

She then took a spanner to knock on the tap. Then she stood up and said, "I don't know why the tap always goes off. I bought several spare ones. It is broken again after a few days."

She stopped the machine and turned on the tap. The water was flowing out. She closed the door and clapped her hands, "it's done."

She turned around and saw his dark eyes.

Was she always like this? She did everything herself. When her husband was close to her, she did everything well without saying a word?
