with us, mostly out of manner before she left the moment she was allowed to.
But not Ava. She stayed, and apparently, she had words for him, too.
It's been a long day, and | need to make sure | have a bed to sleep in for the night. | wouldn't be too surprised if
Ava bought Alfred to mess up the room instead of cleaning.
