In the middle of the night, there were some noises in the room.She opened her eyes.

The room was only lit up by a faint light.

In the dim light, she was immediately shocked to see a dark shadow standing near the head of the bed.

Crystal saw clearly the side profile of this shadow and shouted, "Christina, Are you supposed to be sleeping.What are you doing here?"

"I was frightened by you.Do you know that!"

She was used to living alone.

When she opened her eyes and saw this girl sneaking around by her bed, she was terribly scared.

Crystal was very resentful.

"Mmm..."

Miss Dickens replied perfunctorily, looking absent- minded.

It was late autumn, and the night wind outside the window was chilly.

with widened eyes, Crystal watched the woman standing up and walking to the window to catch the night breeze! "Christina, I can't let my godson catch a cold!"

Crystal was very considerate even though she was complaining, and she noticed that Christina had a cell phone in her hand.Who was she going to call? ..A woman who doesn't mean what she says."

Suddenly, Crystal did not bother to talk to Christina anymore.

She rolled over, and continued to sleep with her head covered.

On the other side of the window, Christina was a little tired, her hands were half-resting on the side of the window rafters, looking down at the dark area under the high-rise apartment building, where only a few streetlights stood, no pedestrians, no dynamism at all.It was quiet and lonely at this time.

Such a peaceful night was suitable for deep sleep.

But she couldn't sleep.

Holding the phone in her right hand, she glanced at the familiar number on the screen and stared at it for a long time...

"Patrick..."

With a low murmur, she touched the number she was about to dial.

Suddenly, she thought of something and turned to look at Crystal who was sleeping on the bed on the other side.She remembered that Crystal had to go for an interview tomorrow morning.She didn't want to disturb her in the middle of the night.

Holding her cell phone, she walked quietly out of the room.

Turning on the light in the living room, she quietly sat on the small sofa and looked around.

This elegant yellow sofa, the pillows with the cartoon figures of SpongeBob SquarePants and Totoro, three watercolor art paintings hung on the easily decorated white wall, and the small round table opposite which they used for dinner.

These brought a warmth of home.
