Because he loves her

Tabitha eventually managed to sleep after staring into space for some time. The following morning at 7, she woke up and rose from the bed seconds later with the intention of preparing breakfast.

However, as Tabitha stood up, she recalled everything that had happened the previous night with Silas, causing her to grimace.

'What if he's in the kitchen?' she wondered, tapping her feet on the floor.

'I don't think I will behave properly in front of him after what he said yesterday. Oh, why, Silas?! Why do you have to make me feel uneasy, you jerk!' thought Tabitha.

However, Tabitha eventually reached the end of the stairs to the kitchen. She didn't immediately rush in; instead, she wanted to check if Silas was there or not.

Unbeknownst to her, as she observed the kitchen from where she stood, Silas was coming out of his room, having gone to get something in there.
