Earlier that day…
As the night approached, Kiara and Cassandra bid Grace farewell. They didn't want to overstay, considering they had spent their entire day in Grace's home. But as they were walking out of the building, Kiara paused.
"Hmm?" Cassandra hummed, looking at her friend with confusion. "What is it, Ki?"
Kiara pursed her lips before she said softly, "Aren't we supposed to be careful? Because… you know?"
"..."
Hearing this, both were quiet for a moment. They remained standing just a step out of the building's entrance. After a second, Cassandra pulled up her hood. It was a good thing she was able to bring Kiara's hoodie last night.
Kiara watched her friend cover herself, sighing internally. 'That's not what I meant… but I guess it's what's best for us for now.'
She didn't like the thought of seeing her friend act like she needed to hide. But with the effect of the ongoing case, they had no choice.
