Leon was already halfway through his dinner before Evelyn had even finished serving everyone.

"Slow down," she said, placing the last plate on the table.

"I'm hungry." he grinned with his mouth full of food.

Leon suddenly looked at Aidan.

"Are you enjoying this?" he asked and Aidan nodded, giving Evelyn a side glance.

"Amazing." he said, looking at her for a moment.

"What food do you like?" Leon asked him

Aidan thought for a moment.

"Anything good."

Leon frowned. "That's not an answer."

    Leon's school had called a day prior for a brief parent and teacher talk.“Would Ms. Cole be able to come in this morning?” They even reminded her today.Evelyn looked at her calendar.She agreed to it, yes, but was mentally inside the LUXE meeting that wasn't until eleven..She glanced at the time.Nine twenty.“School first. LUXE at eleven,” she murmured. “You can do both, Evelyn.”She grabbed her bag.“You can do both.”---Leon's teacher, Mrs. Mia, was waiting for her outside the classroom.“Thank you for coming in,” she said.“Of course.”They sat across from each other.Mrs. Mia folded her hands on the desk.“Leon is a very bright boy.”

    "How bad is this news you have for me?" Aidan said as soon as he arrived at AS Tech."Come in first," Priya said. "I'd rather show you than tell you."The AS Tech floor was operating normally when he arrived — the specific productive hum of a Tuesday morning, people at desks, calls being made, the ordinary machinery of a company doing what it was built to do.Everything looked fine.Priya closed his office door behind them immediately they got there and put a folder on his desk."Priya."She went quiet."What exactly did you find?" Aidan asked. Priya breathed before she spoke up."Sir, Marcus has been in contact with at least 4 of our senior staffs in the recent weeks." She pushed the folder towsrds him.Hee opened it and found the names of the four senior staffs. Aidan closed his eyes for a second,

    Leon was already awake when Evelyn came downstairs, sitting at the kitchen table with his legs swinging under the chair, a bowl of cereal going soft in front of him. He really made cereal for himself, her baby was growing.It had been about a week since Aidan came and everything was just all LUXE since then."Nine days," he said, before she'd even said good morning.Eveln smiled. She obviously knew what he meant. "Nine days for what, baby?""My birthday." He said it like she should have known.Evelyn poured her coffee and let him talk. And he did talk — about cake first, chocolate with the little sugar stars on top, not the vanilla one from last year, and then about the theme, and then about who was coming, counting names off on his fingers like he'd rehearsed it."And Mr. Aidan has to come."Evelyn's hand paused over the sugar."Why does Mr. Aidan have to come?"Leon looked at her like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Because he's my friend."She sat down across from him,

    Priya was at Damien's place. She had just poured two cups of coffee for both of them and Damien was leaning against the edge of the desk, scrolling through his notes from the Richard Cole's case, when Priya's phone buzzed.She answered without looking.“Hello, Priya.” The voice on the other end was flat. It was Officer Morales, the officer handling her attacker's case.“He’s dead.”Priya’s hand tightened around the phone. “What?”“Your suspect. They found him in his cell an hour ago. He stabbed his wrist deeply and bled to death. It’s confirmed.”Priya gasped.Damien looked up. She didn’t need to say anything to him.Officer Morales kept talking. “The reference number he gave us was fake. We ran it three different ways. Nothing. No account. He made it up on the spot.”Priya’s throat felt tight. “How is this...His wife—” she thought“She was here. They brought her in to identify him. They have a kid, a little three years old girl.” Morales paused. “The lady kept asking why. Said he was

Evelyn froze when realized what she just said."I guess."Leon looked between them."How did you know that, Mommy?"Aidan leaned back slightly."I don't," she said. "I was guessing, Leon."Aidan picked up his fork."She's right though," he said. He kept his voice completely even. "Spicy food."Leon looked at Evelyn suspiciously."That's a good guess, then.""Thank you," she said.Aidan said nothing.But the corner of his mou

    He knew he shouldn't have come there, but it was too late to leave because he was already in front of her door.It was also weekend and Aidan didn't know how to feel standing it front of Evelyn's suite in the evening, considering the last time they spoke. In his hand, was a gift box which he got on the way for Leon ad a rose flower for...Evelyn.Aidan adjusted his tie and coughed slightly, as he rang the door bell. There was no answer. "I should leave," Aidan affirmed to himself in less than a second. Almost immediately, the locks clicked and the door opened.Aidan stared at Evelyn's ruffled hair and her big T-shirt.She was quite surprised to see him because she had thought it was reception."What are you doing here?" Evelyn's voice sounded. It wasn't harsh but it wasn't welcoming either.
