She turned on a small light, switched off the main one, and said, "Sleep well. Don't get up to play, and don't stay up talking all night. If I hear you talking, we'll cancel tomorrow's trip to the children's park." Though the boys were only three or four years old, they chatted like adults when together, able to talk about anything for hours.
Serenity thought that when these two grew up, their sharp tongues would fool many.
Sonny and Titus exchanged glances and replied in unison, “We'll go to sleep and won't talk.” They liked chatting, but going out to play tomorrow sounded better.

Lilian was in Wiltspoon, assessing Grandpa Jimenez's health before heading to Jensburg.
Serenity silently prayed that everyone she cared about would be safe and unharmed.
Soon, she fell asleep.
In her dream, she saw her parents with two strangers. Her subconscious told her the strangers were her grandparents, the former heads of the Farrell family.
She longed to embrace her mother, but despite her mother's gentle smile and voice, she couldn't reach her. Her parents seemed to be speaking to her, but she couldn't hear them, and they couldn't hear her.

Serenity suddenly woke up.
It was still dark, though it was already five in the morning.
