An Early Morning to Prepare

“Husband, I’ll sleep over at Fuyu’s house later. I won’t meddle with your progress with her but I’ll at least have to find out whether her mother knows about us or not, right?”

That was Akane’s words after I asked her about her plans tonight. Then she even called Fuyu, informing her about wanting to sleep over. With that girl probably roused to sleep by her call, I heard Fuyu’s sleepy voice over the phone.

Sneakily, Akane acted like she was going to get something inside the house and handed me the phone.

Look at that silly girl. And she said she’s not going to meddle with us.

I shook my head at her randomness.

In any case, because she passed it before Fuyu could properly reply, I caught the girl’s voice clearly.

“E-eh? What did you say? Can you repeat it again, Akane?”

Not gonna lie, she has a cool, raspy voice. I wonder if she’s like this every morning. I can imagine her rubbing her eyes, trying to cast off the sleepiness that has yet to wear off.
