I accompanied Stephanie to the door. Then I locked it to make sure no one could enter easily in case they wanted to harm us. I went back to Arzhel. I saw him smiling. I was wondering what he was smiling about. “Why did you lock it?” he asked, his voice was soft, but there was a hint of teasing in
I opened the door. The doctor and nurse were still beside Arzhel. I heard the doctor asking questions to Arzhel, then the doctor faced the nurse beside him and said some medical terms I didn’t understand. I looked at the woman beside me, she still looked worried. She looked only a little bit scare
“I just found out that he did this to Arzhel!” Veronica said. “B-but how?” I asked, confused. I checked my phone that was in my pocket. “I didn’t receive any calls from the police about him,” I said. But as soon as I said that, my phone rang. It was the New York police. Veronica and I looked

“Mommy,” Arriana entered. She was holding her jigsaw puzzle. I set aside what Arzhel said. He was making it sound like she prioritized me, and I didn’t know how to react to that information. I thought Arriana would run all the way to me, so I turned my seat a little and slightly opened my arms so
“What brought you here, Arzhel?” I asked him. It felt like the first time I saw him again in my office after he started seeing Stephanie. I walked back to my table, not waiting for his reply. I felt him follow me. He sat in front of my desk. He took one of the documents I was reading earlier.
What was important was that we both still respected each other. “It’s nice to meet you again, Analia,” she said and pulled me for a quick hug. We always addressed each other using our names only. She said it was better that way since what we had was just friendly competition. I smiled, as always.
He just followed Arzhel here because he also didn’t know he would come here unannounced and that we would have a meeting because it was originally not in his schedule, which was also the case for me. Janna and Ethan sat on both sides to take down notes of our meeting. “Let’s start,” I said and cli
