Finally arriving at his apartment, it’s time to close the umbrella.

Patrick: Yeah, home sweet home.

His dinner is the leftovers from last night’s Autumn Salad.

A little television before nightfall, news about politics, of course.

Then a movie about… what? Pat has no idea.

Truth is, he’s not even paying attention. He can only think of two things: how nice it would be to have Jun with him here; and Tiara’s call, which he hasn’t received yet. Is she really going to help him, or did she just say that to get him off her back?

Checking his inbox to see if she sent a message. Because of course he also gave her his e-mail.

Nope, no message from Tiara, well, he’ll have to keep waiting, his fingers crossed.
