I watched as Giana entered the elevator before returning to my room and closing the door. I took a shower and lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. I couldn’t fall asleep until dawn; Miya’s words seriously affected my mood.
I got out of bed, warmed a cup of hot milk, and sat on the sofa in the living room. I turned my head and looked at the clock; it was 1:10 in the morning. I looked back at the surveillance. A childish idea suddenly popped into my mind, wanting to test whether Kaleb would actually watch the surveillance. Although this idea was foolish, I have always possessed a scientific spirit and insisted that truth can only be found through practice.
Time passed by minute by minute. I sat in the living room, waiting. I didn’t look at my phone; I didn’t read a book. The bright light in the room shone on me, and I just stared out of the window, lost in thought. The rain stopped for a while and then started again. The rain grew heavier, accompanied by thunder. For me, who was accustomed to going to bed early, even if I had insomnia, I would not stay up until three o’clock in the morning. But tonight, I made it through.
At 3:30 in the morning, the door finally rang. He came back. I wearily closed my eyes and let out a gentle sigh. To determine if Kaleb had watched the surveillance footage, I carefully listened to his first sentence. The sound of closing the door, the sound of changing shoes, the steady footsteps, the sofa moved slightly, and a wave of alcohol scent wafted in. A man’s cold and deep voice came into my ears, “Why aren’t you sleeping?”
