"It went well… surprisingly." Cosette simpered, treading carefully on the gravel path in the garden. "There was a bit of an argument, but it was smoothened out. And then I had tea with my nana after dinner before I went to my room, but I couldn't sleep so I went out for a walk."

"That's good to hear." Maxen nodded in satisfaction, detecting the delight in her tone.

"How about you?" she asked, moving her phone to her other ear. "Did you have dinner?"

"Mhm."

"Did you eat a lot?"

"Yes. Did you?"

"I feel bloated." Cosette smacked her lips, looking around the courtyard.
