Amy dressed her in a coat, hat, and scarf.

Rosie chuckled, Its just a few steps; isnt this too much? Its necessary.

How could it not be ? Amy was older than Rosie.

She replied disapprovingly.

Its windy outside.

Its better to be cautious.

Alright, Ell listen to you, Amy, Rosie said.

Amy smiled and linked arms with Rosie as they walked out the door.

Since it was Christmas Day, the care hhad organized sNew Year activities, gathering those who couldnt return hto ensure no one felt lonely.

Of course, the activities were voluntary for those who preferred quiet.

Rosie widened her eyes and turned to the person .

My caregiver takes this seat.

I cant see, and she sits next toto help.

Could you please find another seat? However, Howard just sat there.

Rosies eyes widened more.

She thought.

How rude and inconsiderate: Howard casually placed her coat on the chair beside them and looked at her.

He thought, Hmm? Is she upset? Howard smiled.

Rosie replied.

On stage, someone was putting on a show.

Rosie listened to the lively sounds, while Howard wasnt interested.

He was concerned about Rosies eyes, wondering if they were getting better.

He thought, Are they still swollen? Is her head still hurting ? Howard swallowed and asked softly, Are your eyes alright? Hmm? Rosie turned her attention to him, paused, and then laughed, Theyre okay, except I cant see. Howard frowned, I heard that speop people cant see, but they still feel pain and discomfort.

How about you? Rosie tilted her head curiously.

So others experience this too? I wasnt feeling well yesterday, but after seeing the doctor and taking so I feel much better now.
