"Hmm… hmm…" As he watched Sally skip away while humming a melody, Jinn felt a chill running down his spine.
'What's with her?' He thought, looking down at the two gifts in his hands. 'Why is she going through so many emotional changes lately?'
"Could it be…" his eyes narrowed in realization before he shook his head. "Nah, it can't be."
The children lost their enthusiasm and energy within a few hours, marking the end of the party. Tucking Kyle in his bed, Jinn cleaned up the mess in the room with Sally.
All the time the girl said nothing, but the smile on her face never vanished.
Once he was done cleaning the room, Jinn found sally and said, "I will go take a bath and settle in early. Have to leave early tomorrow."
It was a lie; Jinn wanted to rush to Agnes as fast as he could; he had already made her wait for so long.
The longer they waited, the chance of her getting exposed increased.
Sally did not suspect anything and accepted his explanation.
