Kisa subconsciously got up and walked outside, where she saw a flower pot shattered on the ground, and the soil and flower seedlings inside were scattered all over the place. Gracie was crouching on the floor, cleaning up the mess. So Kisa went over to help. "Are you alright?"
Gracie smiled and shook her head. "I'm fine. I was just thinking of moving the pot over there." She pointed to the row of pots in front of the garden. "The thing slipped from my hands and dropped to the ground."
"It is okay, just get a new pot," Kisa said, looking around, only to realize that there was not even a maid in the house. She looked at Gracie in puzzlement. "Didn't Kelvin hire you a maid?"
Gracie shook her head. "I don't want a maid. I like to live with him alone. I don't feel comfortable with a maid around."
Kisa was startled, her heart sinking. 'How wonderful it is for two people to live alone together; he only has eyes for you, and you only have eyes for him; life is all about each other. But for the rest of my life, Gilbert and I would never get to that point.'
"Ouch!" Gracie suddenly cried out in pain while Kisa was lost in thought.
Kisa snapped back and saw Gracie had cut herself on her finger, and she was bleeding profusely. "Why is there so much blood?" She subconsciously grabbed the scissors from Gracie's hand and held her injured hand. "Hurry up and get it bandaged before the wound gets infected."
"It is alright. The wound isn't deep. I can just rub the blood off." Gracie was about to pull her hand back when suddenly a person rushed over and pushed Kisa out of the way with an angry yell. "What are you doing?"
