The kettle went off again just as she was grabbing its handle to pick it up. Rumi stopped with the kettle in her hand listening to hear any movement that would indicate she’d woken anyone.
Silence.
She sighed in relief as she moved to pour water into her mug and ramyeon cup.
“What are you doing awake?”
Rumi nearly jumped out of her skin as she turned around to be greeted with a tired looking Mira.
“Shit, sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you.” While she spoke, Rumi looked over Mira’s shoulder to see if Zoey was still sleeping.

Rumi and Mira stood there together silently looking out the window together for a moment.

“Why are you up so late? Or early I guess.”
