Aunt PA breathed a sigh of relief and took the shopping bag, "Such small tasks should be done by the household staff..."
Alice Robinson smiled, "If I go myself, I won't buy the wrong thing..."
"There's no need to rush, it's not until tonight you're going to T City, and you haven't had lunch..."
"I'm not very hungry, where's Rachel?"
"She played all morning and fell asleep right after lunch..."
"Oh."
She returned to her room alone, and the moment she stepped inside, tears uncontrollably slid down.
She sat dazed at the floor-to-ceiling window, unable to stop the tears.
She childishly wiped them away with her elbow, yet the tears kept flowing.

Time quietly slipped away, and she didn't know how long it was until the tears had dried in the flow of air.
She calmly got up and went to the bathroom to wash her face...
She didn't expect him to be home right when she came out.
