When Skylar went downstairs, Penelope was eating oatmeal. Skylar uttered nonchalantly, “Doesn't the morning oatmeal taste better than the midnight wine?”
Penelope put down her spoon. She had drunk too much last night. As a result, her head throbbed, and her stomach was uncomfortable.
She hadn't drunk enough that she suffered from blackouts yesterday. Instead, she remembered everything that happened last night, including the moment when she pointed at Tobias and scolded him loudly. Recalling her actions, Penelope shuddered as her scalp tingled with fear.
In a tentative tone, she asked Skylar, “Did I throw a drunken tantrum at Tobias yesterday? He won't stay mad at me, will he?”
Skylar didn't answer. Tobias is too occupied with his own issues to be mad at her. He's too focused on making my life difficult. She said, “No, he's not mad at you. He's not that petty. I thought you drank too much and forgot everything. It's good that you can still recall what happened. What did you mean last night when you talked about the expression in Tobias' eyes? I didn't understand.”
Penelope scanned her surroundings and discreetly beckoned Skylar to come closer, like how secret agents interacted with one another.
Skylar pulled up a chair and sat next to Penelope before leaning her head forward. “What do you want to tell me? I think his eyes are fine. They're very pretty.”
Penelope took her phone out of her pocket and handed it to Skylar. “Read this article. It's very well written. I like it very much!”
