A Long Wait

"In about three days to one week, why do you ask, Karen?" Sakuya answered.

Sakuya just then took a big bite of her chicken quesadilla, then, she washed it down with a little bit of milk.

"So I see." Karen said.

Yotsuba just sighed dejectedly.

"What's the matter, Yotsuba?" Kaho asked.

"Sakuya is so lucky." Yotsuba sighed sadly.

Sakuya set her half full milk glass on the dining room table.

"What makes you believe that I am lucky, Yotsuba?" Sakuya asked.

"Because, just like Brother Dearest, you have a pen pal unlike the rest of us." Yotsuba complained to Sakuya.

"Yes, though it'll be a long wait for me to get Ken's letter." Sakuya told Yatsuba sadly.

The very next day in the Welcome House just before school, Mamoru was packing the leftover chicken quesadillas into each one of the thirteen lunchboxes when Wataru entered the kitchen.
