As she walked toward him, she could see how his face was ghostly white from the cold. It was clear that he had been waiting for a while. Her expression stayed neutral as she climbed into his car. The cold air inside the car matched the chill outside.

He pushed himself up and glanced at the door.
"Alicia?" Silence was all he received in return. The dark, empty living room only deepened his sense of Pepened loneliness. But he clearly groom remembered that she had chbefore he fell asleep.
Caden slowly stepped out, calling into the darkness, but there was no reply. He realized that she had gone out. His mouth felt dry, so he poured a glass of water and drank it slowly. The plain, tasteless water was hard to get down, reminding him of the old days when, as long as Alicia was around, everything was clean and smelled nice. Back then, his glass was rarely just plain water. There was always at least a slice of honey lemon in it.
