บท 305: You have a dad

Cosette and Luke looked at each other upon seeing Maxen napping under the shade on the rooftop. Her lips were drawn into a thin line, setting her eyes back to Maxen.

'Didn't he get enough sleep?' she wondered to herself before she carefully sauntered in Maxen's direction. 

Both Cosette and Luke tiptoed their way to Maxen, sitting on either side of him without making any sound. Once they sat, they cast each other a look once again. Their eyes fell on Maxen; the latter had his arms over his eyes, lying leisurely on the floor. 

'Is he asleep?' Luke mouthed at Cosette, moving his lips slowly so she could reach his lips. 

Cosette shrugged. 'I don't know.'

A deep exhale escaped their nostrils, shaking their heads. But they didn't make any unnecessary noise. They didn't even check the time or urge each other to go back to their room, skipping classes, since that seemed to be Maxen's plan.
