EPISODE 4
[DISCONTINUED] Tough, But We Can"Grandpa, Grandma, I'm home!" It was past ten by the time Tiffany reached home, the first time ever that she was home this late. Her grandparents did not answer her as they both sat on the living room's sofa, both faces gloomy.
Tiffany, who noticed the unusual behaviour, cautiously approached her grandparents. "Grandpa, Grandma, I'm sorry for not informing you that I will be home late. I was too carried away that I caused you worries. I'm s-"
