"Turn on the TV," he said.
Olivia was taken aback for a second, then quickly turned on the TV, flipping to a cartoon channel. The familiar sounds brought a bit of life back to the cold villa.
For a moment, it felt like someone was really there watching TV.

Alexander paused, glanced at his watch, and looked momentarily lost. He murmured, "It's already midnight." After a moment, he stood up, grabbed his coat, and walked out.
Kyle followed him, driving him back to Regal Riverside.
Before stepping inside, Kyle heard the TV from within, and his heart skipped a beat. He rushed in ahead of Alexander.
But inside, it was just the TV playing. Kyle sighed in disappointment and glanced back at Alexander, who was also staring in that direction.
"Mr. Kennedy, you should rest. I'll be heading back," Kyle said.

But what was Alexander waiting for? Olivia took a blanket over and carefully covered him.
The moment she touched him, Alexander suddenly opened his eyes, staring blankly at Olivia His gaze was at somewhat dazed, like he hadn't fully woken from a dream. Olivia quickly pulled her hand back like she'd been shocked.
As Alexander heard the drizzle outside, his gaze becclearer. He and closed his eyes and softly said, "Why do I dream of her every tI close my eyes? Is it a sign of something?" Olivia blurted out, "Mr. Kennedy, it must be because you miss her so much."
