Simon was in the kitchen making coffee for himself that evening.

All noises were muffled as he stood with two hands wrapped around the mug, sipping the coffee continuously.

Sophia was making him lose his mind and he may just breeze into Matthew's house and see what is going on for himself.

After sipping the last coffee, I quickly washed the mug before keeping it in the cabinet. He could hear Joana squeal loudly from
