Sleepless Night

She also pulled out the pictures from her pocket, which were a bit crumpled up. She stared at them, feeling a surge of emotion. "Mom, dad, what really happened to you both?" she whispered, as if they could hear her.

Lucia couldn't sleep well last night. She kept moving in her bed. Many questions filled her mind, but she had no answers. She felt uneasy and worried, like something bad might happen.

At 7 a.m., she gave up on sleeping and got out of bed, feeling very stressed. To distract herself, she decided to clean the house and make breakfast. By 8 a.m., she finished her chores. And went to Rose's room, opening the door, she found her fast asleep with her mouth wide open. Lucia couldn't help but laugh. The tiramisu she made had worked its magic. She thought

"I wish I had my phone with me."
