Miriam sat on her bed with her head placed on her legs as she let out the puff she had been holding. "Miriam, I don't think I know you anymore. What were you doing in that building? One minute you were in your room and the other in a building with those men." Doris let out astonishment in her every speech.

Miriam raised her head from her legs before speaking.

"Doris, you might think I'm a lunatic but believe me that I saw Christain standing Outside my window." Miriam let out making Doris to scoff.

"Of course Miriam, your behavior is no different from that of a lunatic. You think you saw Christain outside your room when you are just hallucinating about him, Christain is still out of the country in Morocco for God's sake Miriam." Doris let out.

"What do you mean Doris, I saw Christain outside." Miriam let out.

"I told you to stop dwelling in the past and move on. You would only make yourself look like a lunatic if you don't move on," Doris let out, making Miriam knead her neck tiredly

"Carlos, are we allowed to set foot here? Someone might accuse us of trespassing." Eleanor let out. "Carlos, I think Eleanor is right, this house is way too glamorous for us to live in." Miriam let out as a chuckle escaped Carlos's lips. "You both are safe here and there is no one coming to send any of you away.

"Miriam, you haven't fed the baby once and you are intending on going to work just after five days of being discharged from the hospital! Why don't you check on the baby at least?" Eleanor asked, trying to comfort the crying baby. "Why would I do that Eleanor? I mean give me solid reasons why I should take care of that child.
