On the way back, she didn't ask William about Hazel.
However, in the following days, William returned to his previous state of rarely being home.
He was rarely home during the day, and he usually came back very late at night. Last night, he didn't even come home.
She never wanted their relationship to be cold. Still, after he spoke so clearly that night, her mood had been terrible until today.
In the past, when she didn't see him, she would at least check the newspapers for any reports about him. Over the past few days, she hadn't even bothered with the newspapers.
After taking a nap and coming downstairs, she heard Mr. Franklin's cheerful laughter.
Before she could figure out what was happening, Mrs. Franklin had already pulled her to sit on the sofa. "Mia, have you seen today's newspaper?"
"...No." Was there good news?
Mrs. Franklin said happily, "The big problem with William's project has been solved... Look, it's all over the news now."
Solved?
