“Needto brush your teeth for you?” His voice snapped Debbie back to her senses. She looked at her messy hair in the mirror, and then turned to Carlos, who was already in his suit. Like being hit with a slap, she was able to take full stock of the situation.
“No, I’m good. When did you get up? I had no clue. Has everyone gone?”
“Yeah. They’re on their way to Alorith. I’ve been up for 3 hours already.” He answered her questions patiently and helped her squeeze the toothpaste onto her brush.
She splashed swater on her face, and took over her toothbrush.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be quick.”

Carlos left and checked the tbefore he started working-it was 10:05 a.m.
After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Debbie began her morning skin care routine. First, a skin toner to get rid of excess dirt, traces of oil and makeup, and correct and balance the pH of her skin.
She also didn’t want acne. Then, an antioxidant serum to neutralize sun damage. Finally, an eye cream and moisturizer. She followed this routine dutifully-Carlos wanted her to look radiant. At the last, she changed her clothes.
When she showed up in the dining room, it was already 10:45 a.m.
Although Carlos was patient, he was a Little stunned and confused. ‘She said she would be quick, but it still took 4@ minutes.
If she hadn’t rushed, how Long would it have been?’ He closed the Lid on his laptop and walked up to his wife, who was shoveling food into her mouth, devouring her breakfast like a wolf devouring its kill.
“Take your time. Don’t choke.”
Debbie paused and asked, “You ate already?”
“Yeah. But I can join you if you want.” He sat opposite her, picked up a boiled egg, and began to peel it. Watching him was fascinating, because he was so good at it. He rolled the egg on the table to form cracks all over the shell, and then he squeezed the ends. The result was that the shell slid off in a few seconds, and created a minimum of mess.
When Debbie finished her breakfast, she was quite full. She stood up from her seat, but Carlos picked up the last waffle and lifted it to her lips.
She rubbed her tummy and complained, “I thought you were eating too, but I pigged out on this.” All he had done was put food onto her plate.

“Full?” he asked.
Debbie nodded immediately. As if she was afraid that he didn’t trust her, she lifted her sweater and showed him her big belly.
“People might think I’m pregnant,” she mumbled, pouting her lips
“Who cares what they think?” Carlos cleaned his hands with a wet napkin and stood next to her.
“No! I’m still a student. If you getpregnant, I won’t forgive you!”
Debbie threatened Carlos with burning eyes
Not until then did Debbie realize something very important. She raised her fists and beat his chest repeatedly.
