Fully dressed and with breakfast plates cleared, the couple settled into their respective tasks. Ryan resumed his investigation, his brow furrowed in concentration as he pored over documents and reports. Suzy, meanwhile, began to organize the plans for the orphanage jubilee, her mind buzzing with ideas. She drafted lists for the auction items, the guest invitations, and the entertainment schedule, her quill scratching across the parchment with concentration.
The hours passed, marked by the gentle rhythm of the rain and the quiet rustle of papers. The soft breeze drifting in through the open window lulled Suzy into a state of drowsy contentment. Her eyelids grew heavy, and she found herself nodding off, her head falling gently onto the papers spread before her.
