Ayden and John take refuge in George's apartment, unable to maintain communication with the outside world."Sir, it's on all the news channels," John comments while continuously flipping through channels."I know, now it will be almost impossible for me to go out.

"You know, he can hardly run that hospital.

She makes a mental note that he doesn't like her drinking.“I thought you wanted me to bugger off,” she mutters in a thread of a voice, Arya, as he sets the glass of water in front of her and sits down on the far armchair.“I wanted to, but Daniel has told me that these proceedings can take months” she clarifies as if that bothers him. “I'll be honest with you, I need a child, but without my father knowing it's by surrogate.

Can't you see the fucking weather?” He points to the gray sky from his office. I didn't expect it to be sunny, but at least it wasn't cloudy.“Have you been watching the weather again?” asks Ayden, sitting down across from him.“What I see or don't see is of no importance to you, you know what does matter?”Ayden would like to roll his eyes at his father's comment and question, but he holds back.
