Ninety-Six

The atmosphere at dinner was so quiet that Dennis almost choked. There was only Gianna's voice chattering. Aura is mostly silent and only sounds when Dennis asks. Her face also looked grim, making Dennis wonder what happened to his wife.

"I'm full," said Aura suddenly. She got up and put the dishes in the sink. After that, wash her hands and reach for a napkin to wipe her wet hands.

"You're with Alice, yes," said Aura, looking at Gianna who was eating, fed by Alice. She didn't even turn to Dennis.

Aura grabbed Gavin who was sitting on a chair after finishing his dinner.

Dennis also noticed Aura's behavior through the corner of her eye. Suddenly his appetite evaporated. He also left the dining table and followed Aura into the family room.

Aura was standing while Gavin was sitting on the sofa. One hand holding the TV remote. The TV screen that had been dark suddenly became bright.
