The next morning arrived quietly.
Sunday.
Sunlight filtered softly through the tall windows of Pearl Villa while the garden outside shimmered with fresh dew..
Inside the living room Miles sat comfortably on the couch with Monica and Daniel.
The television played softly in the background.
A weather reporter stood on the screen pointing toward a large map of the country.
"The monsoon currents are expected to reach the coastal region soon," the reporter explained carefully.
"The rainfall pattern this year appears to be stronger than usual."
Daniel leaned slightly forward, watching the forecast with interest.
The reporter continued.
"Citizens should prepare for heavy rainfall in the coming weeks, especially around the coastal areas including Star Harbor."
Daniel nodded slowly.
"Looks like we will get a good monsoon this year."
Just then Elena walked into the room carrying a small bowl of fruit.
She glanced at the television and smiled.
