Alice staggered along while guiding her bicycle.
She just came back from the restaurant. Her face was tired, and she was sweating profusely.
"Just got home?" asked Sea who suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Eh, the Sea! You make me surprised!" said Alice.
"Haha, sorry, what's with your bike?" asked the Sea.
"The chain broke," Alice replied.
"Then why don't you just take it to the workshop?"
"Go on, Sea, it's almost home, I'll call Felix later," Alice said.
"Oh, I see?"
"Yes, I will go first, Sea! I am very tired, I want to take a bath and sleep, goodbye, sea!" Alice waved her hand.
"See you later," said Laut.
Alice entered the house and left Sea who was still standing in her yard.
Slowly Sea, grinning.
"I need a new family member," she said.
Then appeared a man who looked doubtful looking at Alice's house.
Sea was a little suspicious seeing it.
And without hesitation Sea approached the man.
"Good afternoon, can I help you?" asked the Sea.
"Ah, good afternoon, Miss," he said.
"What do you need, to my neighbor's house?" asked Sea casually but the look in her eyes was so sharp it seemed like piercing.
"Introducing, Miss, my name is Archer, I'm brother-in-law, Alice Nelson," he said.
Then Archer gave Sea a paper bag.
"Miss, may I ask, you, to give this paper bag to, Alice?" she says.
Sea furrowed her brows, "Why, you, don't give it directly?"
"I'm in a hurry, Miss," Archer replied.
Archer worked as a crew on filming.
And coincidentally today his team was on duty in the city of London, their shooting location, not far from where Alice lived.
Therefore, Archer took the time to look at Alice's face, even if only for a moment, and gave something to Alice. Deliberately entrusted to Sea, because if you meet directly with Alice.
Surely Alice would be mad at Archer.
Because from the start, Alice had opposed Archer's feelings for her.
Given his status is still the legal husband of Bella.
But Archer didn't give up, and he kept trying to slowly approach Alice.
Archer was sure, if he kept watching Alice, then Alice's heart would slowly melt and accept this feeling.
Sea immediately received the paper bag from Archer's hand.
"Fine, I'll give it to Alice," Sea said with a faint smile.
"Thank you, Miss," said Archer. Then Archer left the place.
And after Archer left, Sea opened her paper bag.
It turns out that in it there are several boxes of chocolate cake with various variants. Archer knew that Alice loved chocolate.
And there was a piece of paper from Archer for Alice.
Even the sea laughed at her.
It was impolite for her to read a letter that was supposed to be for Alice, and without Alice's prior consent.
After reading Archer's writing which was full of poetic words and fanatical seductions for Alice, Sea put the letter back in the paper bag.
She knocked on Alice's door, about to give the paper bag to Alice.
"What's wrong, Sea? I just finished taking a shower," Alice concluded.
"Here," Sea handed Alice the paper bag.
"What's this?"
"I don't know, a guy named Archer left this thing for you," Sea explained.
"Huh?! Really?"
"Yeah, you want to rest, right?"
"...yes, but if you want to chat with me that's fine," Alice said.
"No ... I have to meet my family," said Sea.
"Is that true?"
"Yes, goodbye, Alice," Sea waved her hand.
"Goodbye..." Alice replied.
Sea smiled as he turned her body and slowly the smile stopped with cold eyes.
She turned back to Alice, and Alice's door was already closed.
Arriving at home, Sea wrote something on a piece of paper. Then she put it in a pink envelope.
***
The next day, at 8 am, Alice had already left for work.
Then Archer returned, to Alice's house.
Once again he met with Sea.
"Hello, Mr. Archer, good morning," said Sea.
"Hi, good morning too, Miss," Archer greeted politely.
"Surely you're looking to meet Alice, right?" asked the Sea.
"Right, is she home?"
"Alice, just left, Sir. But she left this for you," Sea handed Archer the letter she wrote yesterday.
"Alice wrote me a letter?" Archer scratched his head.
"She's right. Alice seems to like your cake, Mr. Archer," said Sea. She was so good at lying that even Archer believed her.
"Wow, thanks," Archer looked so happy to receive the slip of paper from Sea, he thought Alice had written it.
Can't wait to read the letter.
While walking towards the shooting location.
Archer started to open the letter with the pink envelope.
'Archer, I love the cake you gave me, I want you to come to my house tonight,' the letter read.
How happy Archer's heart was, after reading the letter.
"Is this writing, Alice?" she says.
It was a little hard to believe, but whatever it was, Archer already liked Alice.
One request from Alice made her no longer care about the impossible.
***Break time had arrived, Alice distributed the cakes that Archer gave to all her friends.
"Hey, you guys! I got something!" said Alice.
Felix approached her, "What did you bring, Alice?" Felix asked.
"Please share with other friends," said Alice as she handed Felix a paper bag.
But before giving her the paper bag, she took the letter from Archer first.
While her friends were enjoying their snacks, Alice quietly tore up the letter from Archer without reading it first. Because Alice already knew that it must be just scribbles of aphorisms and nonsense from Archer.
She didn't want to read it, Alice was sick of a man like Archer who wasn't much different from Carlos.
"Crazy bastard! If you weren't my sister's husband, I would have hanged you alive," Alice muttered as she tore the paper roughly, then threw it in the trash.
***
Meanwhile, Sea was in the basement, she was cleaning up the messy things.
Not to forget she also chatted with the corpses in her collection.
"Livy, how are you? Are you starting to like living here?" Sea held the hair of the corpse named Livy, then she turned to the corpse of a small child named Clara.
Clara is Sea's biological daughter.
"Yes, dear... Mom is here, you must be very happy, huh, because you have a new family member?" The sea caressed the hair of the child's corpse.
"Livy, a good girl, though she can't talk, and I'm pretty sure she'll be a good big sister to you, Clara,"
