Before Me

The following day.

At 2:00 in the afternoon.

Jake and Alfie visited Helen at the Miller mansion.

Alfie grinned at Helen. "Hello Juliet..." he greeted her.

"Hello, guys... wazzup?" she asked the men.

"Here we are, visiting you again!" Jake replied cheerfully.

"I would like to ask your parents to legally adopt us because we're always at your house every day," Alfie said jokingly.

Jake hit Alfie mildly with the walking stick that he's holding in his hand.

"Ouch!" Alfie whined. "I'm just kidding!" he said.

"Go find something to do! Leave Helen and I alone, we have something important to discuss!" Jake commanded.

"Yes, your highness! I shall make myself disappear!" Alfie replied. He looked at Helen. "Take care of the King, my princess. If you need my assistance, you can find me in the garden sitting on my favorite swing surrounded by beautiful flowers," he said and turned around heading to the main door.
