Matthew, just awakened, found solace in Marcus’ company, clinging to him affectionately as they played together.
At eight oclock sharp, Melissa departed, leaving Marcus engrossed in play with Matthew.
Melissa descended the stairs, unlatched the door, and settled into the driver's seat of her car. Gazing quietly at the snowfall through the window, she remained lost in thought for quite some time.
Eventually, she ignited the engine but only drove a short distance before pulling over. Stepping into a nearby pharmacy, she purchased a box of medicine.
Back in the car, she unscrewed the Lid of the thermos mug and swallowed a pill.

It was a morning-after pill.
Memories of her encounter with Marcus flooded back; however, doubts plagued her mind regarding the authenticity of the pills she took back then.
The pill was a tad bitter, leaving a lingering taste in her mouth.
After swallowing it down, she sat in contemplation for a while before driving off.

With his slender fingers resting on the steering wheel, Marcus observed silently as Melissa entered and exited the pharmacy. She lingered in her car for about ten minutes before departing.
Marcus could hazard a guess at what she had purchased and consumed.

He took out a cigarette and lit it.
