On the way back from the cinema, Vivian kept her head down and didn't speak.
No matter how Ethan tried to tease her or provoke her, she didn't seem to react.
When they arrived at Vivian's house, Simon waved at them and said goodnight, before heading directly into the door opposite.
Ethan, puzzled, followed Vivian into her home.
The floor lamp in the living room was on, probably left by Mrs. York waiting for them to return.
Vivian quietly changed her shoes at the door, then looked up with a complex expression at Ethan who was following behind her.
Ethan, who had been holding back along the way, couldn't stand it anymore. He changed into slippers, grabbed Vivian's wrist, and pulled her into the study, closing the door behind them. Feeling a bit irritated, he asked, "What's wrong with you? Ever since you spoke with Simon, you've been acting weird. I talk to you and you ignore me. What did he say to you?"
