"Is he back?" Kylie abruptly opened her eyes.
"What do you mean? He's always here," Fannie said. "I saw him discussing something serious with several men when I came here, so I didn't bother him."
"I went to call Lucas just then, and he was standing alone in the garden. I don't know what he's thinking."
"Oh." Kylie lay down again and smoothed Pupu's fur.
"Oh?" Fannie observed Kylie's face, then pointed at her eyes, asking, "Don't tell me you cried because of Ethan."
"Of course not." Kylie moved her eyes away. All of a sudden, she thought of something. "Fannie, why don't you go out with me?"
"Now? Will Ethan agree?" Fannie asked.
Kylie thought to herself that Ethan didn't care about her now, but she still replied, "He will. It's something about him."
Half an hour later, Fannie stopped the car at the dock of Seattle. Stephen, who was waiting for them, waved his hand.
