Winter couldn't believe what she saw when she followed as she was told and looked out of the window.
Standing beside a light post just across the street is none other than Marcellus. He appears to be in his office uniform, meaning that he probably went straight there right after work. She also saw that he had his car with him, but she couldn't see anyone else. He must have driven all the way there on his own.
Then, Winter locks eye contact with Marcellus at that moment - with her gaping a little, and him smiling up to her.
"What are you doing here...?" she asked, stunned and confused.
"And you already came back? Since when?"
"Just this evening..." he replied, still beaming up at her.
"I thought of seeing you first before I go home."
"Idiot, you should've rested first! You must be tired!"
"It's fine, it's fine~ I'd rather see you than do that."
"Are you for real? I can't invite you inside, you know. August is here."
