ONE MORNING, Ashriel and Nylah sat side by side at a corner table near the café's window, sipping coffee and watching the scene in front of them with barely concealed amusement.
The smell of freshly ground coffee beans blended with sugar and butter drifted lazily through the air. It should have been an ordinary day, but it wasn’t.
Day-off ng mga staff sa café kaya naman iba ang pumalit. In their place, the Laurent-Rios siblings stood.
A whole family in the café is already considered bonding for them.
“This was your idea,” sabi ni Ashriel at humigop ng kape.
Inosenteng ngumiti si Nylah. “They wanted to try. I just didn’t stop them.”
Natawa na lamang ng mahina si Ashriel at napailing. “The Underground would collapse if they could see this.”
Nagkibit lang naman ng balikat si Nylah.
