Bertha Swift wasn't killed by Adam Piers, but she wasn't doing great either.
When they got home at three, they woke up hungry at eight in the evening.
The sky had already darkened, and the lights outside streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing them to see each other, though everything appeared a bit hazy.
They both had that feeling of appreciating a beauty under the lamplight. Adam Piers wrapped his long arms around Bertha Swift and with a slightly hoarse voice from just waking up, he asked, "Bertha, what do you want to eat?"
Suddenly, Bertha Swift felt as if they had been together for such a long time, long enough to deal with mundane daily life, to entwine on the bed, and to cook for each other and add clothes and meals.
This was something Bertha Swift never thought she would experience with Adam Piers, but surprisingly, it was the exact opposite.
