Coral whispered urgently to the cat, "Hide under the dolls, quickly!"
The cat, understanding the urgency, scrambled to bury himself beneath the plush toys. Coral watched in panic as a fluffy tail and a pair of blue eyes peeked out. She hastily rearranged the dolls, trying to cover every bit of the cat.
"Stay still!" she whispered frantically. The cat's eyes twinkled mischievously before he finally settled down.
Coral took a deep breath and slightly opened the door, peeking out to see Sofia Aunty.
She gave a nervous laugh. "Hi, Aunty Sofia. Everything okay?"
Sofia Aunty looked at her with concern. "Are you okay, Coral? You seem a bit on edge."
Coral, trying to act casual, leaned against the door, only to feel something tickling her leg.
"Oh, I'm fine, just... organizing my room," Coral said, trying to sound nonchalant.
Sofia's eyes narrowed slightly. "Are you sure? You look like you're hiding something."
