“Thank you for coming.” Laurel whispers to Electra. “Even though you don’t like hospitals. This means a lot to me.”

Electra responds to the older woman with a smile. She doesn’t hate hospitals. Not that she exactly likes it, but Electra can stand it. It’s her father who hates it, and everything he hates, Electra is supposed to hate too.

“This is the worst part of the visit.” Laurel speaks. “The waiting.” She clarifies as she catches Electra’s look of confusion.

They are seated in the doctor’s office, awaiting the result of Laurel’s test.

Electra examines the office. Her eyes rove over the table. Dr. Mac Lewis sits on a silver nameplate.

Still wandering, her eyes settle on Laurel. As much as Laurel tries to hide it, Electra can see the fear in the woman’s eyes.

Instinctively, Electra reaches out and holds her hand. She squeezes Laurel’s hand reassuringly, giving the woman a warm smile.

The doctor walks into the room. His fingers clutch the white piece of paper that contains Laurel’s

    Electra walks inside the house to the delicious aroma of pasta coming from the kitchen. She takes off her coat and hangs it.She stops by the kitchen and catches Anders by the cooker. Like the first time she saw him in here, he’s looking devilishly sexy. Like the sexy male chefs on food ads that don't really advertise food. He raises his head as she peeks inside.“You're back.” He says, lifting the pan from the gas and placing it on the island. “You hungry? I made dinner. Pasta. Want to join me?” he asks, pulling serving plates from the cupboard.Electra is silent. Watching him absentmindedly. The weight of the additional responsibility handed to her pressed heavy on her shoulders.“I’ll go shower first.” She says and leaves.He shrugs, not sure what's with her. He returns his attention to his task.Electra takes her time in the shower. Her entire conversation with Laurel replays in her mind. Left with no option, she had promised the dying woman.None of this is real. She has a deal

    Anders yanks the door open. He smiles as he opens the door to reveal Laurel.“Granny,” he beams. He moves back for Granny to step inside.Clutching tightly to the caregiver with her, the old woman struggles to enter the house. She appears worse. Drawn and strained. A throbbing falls over Anders’ eyes.Slowly, his smile falls. “You look unwell, Granny.” Anders remarks. “Oh well! That's the new hello now?” Laurel grunts as she takes a step inside. Anders is silent. He's watching her every move. Standing to offer help if needed.“I guess it's good to see you too, Anders.” Laurel says.“You should be resting, Granny.”“Since when did you change your profession?” Laurel asks. “You're a doctor now?”“You're struggling, Granny.” Anders insists.“Nonsense!” Laurel waves her hand. “Where is Electra?” The old woman asks, eyes roving in search of Electra.Electra appears in front of her. A genuine smile spread across her lips.“A pleasant face to welcome me.” She smiles at Electra. A frown for

    Ready, Electra stands in front of the full-length mirror, watching her reflection. The green, short-sleeved, knee-length dress is a perfect fit. A golden broach; the only embroidery on the dress hangs on her left breast.She glances at the desk clock on the vanity table. 6:50pm. Almost time for dinner. She smooths her dress to still the quivering in her hands. It does nothing to relieve the tension in her chest. Her father will be here. A chill travels down her spine at the thought.She takes deep breaths and counts along with each breath until she counts to ten.Exhaling one large gush of air, she stills herself before she steps out of her room. She reaches the dining table to find it all set. Plates, cutlery, napkins, candles- all the works of a table setting arranged by a professional chef. But there’s no one around.She hears a rattling in the kitchen. She trails the sound to the kitchen and stops by the door, hypnotized by what she sees.Clad in black pants, a white shirt, top

    “Hello, pumpkin.” He greets as his eyes trail her, noting small, novel details about her.Electra huffs out a breath and rolls her eyes. “And sour goes the rest of my day.” She takes a U-turn back inside the house.“Great! I’m just about happy to see you too.” He says as he steps inside the house and struggles to shut the door behind him while holding the flowers and the dress. Electra shivers in revolt. She doesn’t look at him. “You're back early.” She points.“Why did you lock the door?”“Would you have preferred I left it open?” She has her back to him, exiting the room. If he can't tell that she had to rush out of the bathroom, then he is probably blind.Anders flashes his eyebrows. “Good point.” Distracted, he stares at her swaying bum as she walks away. Definitely no panties under that shirt, leaving very little to his imagination.Apple bum. Nice shape. Why the hell does she hide them in those hideous slacks? He tuts.“How are you?” He bites his tongue a second too late. Wron

    Anders shakes his head. Orion is a clown. He shifts his attention to Karl.“Are you alright?”Karl nods and stills himself. “It was just a minor accident. She didn't know I was coming behind her when she flipped her hand.” He sniffs. “She didn't even realize that she struck me.”The woman's brows knit. Karl was lying tooth and nail.Karl turns to her. “Thanks for your help, ma'am.”She simply eyes him and walks off, regretting why she bothered to help him. She agrees in her heart that he deserved that punch.“You want to have that checked out?” Orion asks.“I’ll manage.” Karl says.Anders eyes him, assessing the credibility of his words. “Are you done here?”“Yes. I was leaving. I’ve seen the client. There's a hearing in three days. We rehearsed for court and went through some details about the case.” Karl says, aiming to impress Anders.Anders glanced at Orion. “It's one of the minor cases…”“No case is minor.” Anders cuts Orion. “Our clients are our priority.” He reminds him.
