Joe said, "It still needs to be proven, or else it won't be convincing enough."

The next day, Skylar stayed in bed. Thankfully, it was Saturday. But Joe had a business engagement.

But she simply didn't have the energy to get up. She wanted to keep sleeping.

She fell asleep again, and when she woke up, it was already noon.

On the table was the breakfast Joe had made for her that morning. He had made some chicken soup. Simple, yet he made it so well.
