What is done in love is done well."

– Vincent van Gogh


If she hadn't been in love and satisfied in her love life, she would have stoned the sofa to the one who was doing the chain saw outside her very room. 



She quickly got up from the bed but not before wrapping herself in a robe and went to the balcony of her room where her eyes widened in shock at what she’s seeing below. Her mom's garden was in a haul. The workers are currently removing her mother's greenhouse, taking it away, brick by brick while others are digging the soil and uprooting her mother's flowering crops. 







What made her brows furrowed was her mother, Mae Koy who was just on the sidelines drinking her tea while smiling and directing the workers. 









"Make sure to pull up the covered grass around the path, okay?"  She heard mother tell the workers and Orm was just flabbergasted. She knows how much her mother loves the green house so what in the name of the Holy God is her mother doing?







She shook her head and even though she was still sleepy, she reached for her phone to check the  time. 






It's already seven in the morning. Too early for her to wake up on a good Saturday But she saw that there was a message in the corner of her phone. Without even checking who, she knew it was from the Attorney.





Until you reconcile with my arms, Then bitter will my days be. Good morning, my Arwen.



“Nerd.” She said but she felt her cheeks heating up because she clearly knows the reference. Ling loves the work of Tolkien so much and knows the lore of it by heart and her silly mind, in order to keep up with the interest of Ling have bought books of Lord of the Rings and read it for a week. 




“You’re so sappy. Good morning too. 11 AM Later, okay?”  She said and took a selfie with her kissy face pouting. Last night the Attorney pleaded for her to sleep in her Apartment, even promising that they won't do anything naughty because they are both tired from work that week but she just can't fully trust Ling in such things. The Attorney’s stamina was…extraordinary. It's like she’s  catching up after all the time they have  lost.








So they just had dinner at a nearby restaurant and with a sulking face, Ling drove her to her house much to the Attorney’s disappointment. As a way to compensate, She promised that she would spend the weekend with her.










She saw her phone pinged. Indicating that the Attorney immediately replied to her message only a minute after she sent her message. Orm just smiled and put the phone aside. She will take her bath first before responding. She knows that her lover is loyal but still, she better keep her on her toes.

After dressing up in a simple blouse and plaid skirt, she went down and caught her brother who was about to go down and was already on the stairs. It looks like he just woke up because of the noise and his eyes are still half closed. 










"P'Orm, what's with the noise?" King asked after yawning so much, she could almost see his esophagus.










Orm snickered and flicked her brother’s forehead who groaned and glared at her, “I don’t know. Ask mom.”








King huffed while trying to get back at her but Orm had so much energy that day that she kept her brother at arm's distance until he stopped disappointedly and looked at her evilly.
