That night, Ryan watered the Rose bush for the first time since he got it. He discovered the flower pot had a tray that he could pull out to pour away the excess water. After following all the steps in Peter's guide, he smoothed the paper and stuck it on the wall beside the window.
While he worked, Adalia sat on the ground nearby and stared up at him with her head tilted at him curiously. Suddenly, she leapt up, trying to reach the ledge where the Flower pot stood, but didn't succeed.
"You mustn't push it over, okay?" he said, crouching down to brush her fur before scooping her up. "We have to take good care of the flower."
Adalia gave a tiny whine in response, twisting in his arms.
"Alright, we're going to sleep now."
