Chapter 97: A Little Problem
Their first day in the condo passed by slowly.
They spent the first hour just walking around, checking everything again, like they still couldn’t believe everything was real. Lily opened every door to see what was inside every room.
Gray tested the light switches, played with the built-in speakers, and even tried the touch panel that controlled the curtains. When the blackout curtains swept shut with a smooth hum, Lily gasped like magic had just happened.
"It’s like magic, brother!" she whispered in the air, half in awe.
"Don’t press anything or else you would destroy it, Lily,’" Gray joked around.
For their first night in the condo, Lily begged for pizza, and Gray didn’t even hesitate to agree to her. They sat cross-legged on the living room floor, using a fancy marble coffee table as their small dining table.
"I feel like I shouldn’t eat here, brother," Lily said, wiping her fingers with a tissue.
Gray glanced at the expensive tabletop, then flicked her forehead.
"Stupid. Stop thinking about it. The place is ours."
Lily heartily giggled before nodding her head.
They talked while eating. Their topics were about the condo, the school, and how weird it felt not hearing their old upstairs neighbor stomp around anymore. Gray didn’t even notice until Lily brought it up.
