Ava walked into the house, a warm smile on her face as she greeted Marcus. "Good evening," she said, her voice cheerful. Marcus replied with a simple "Hey," his tone neutral.

The time he had spent with Marcus had clearly made an impact, and now he affectionately called him "Dada." As Ava began preparing breakfast, Marcus's mind wandered back to the discovery of the drug. He had been fighting the urge to confront Ava about it, scared to face the reality that she might not be entirely truthful with him. His doubts were growing, and he couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off.

He would carefully observe her reactions, searching for any signs of poisoning or adverse effects.At breakfast, Marcus would casually push a plate of toast or fruit towards Ava, saying "Help yourself" or "Try some, it's delicious." Ava, unaware of Marcus's suspicions, would happily take a bite or sip, giving Marcus a chance to gauge her reaction.If Ava seemed fine after eating or drinking something, Marcus would then consume it himself, feeling slightly more confident that it was safe. He repeated this pattern with various foods and drinks, always keeping a close eye on Ava's behavior.Ava noticed that Marcus seemed a bit distant and preoccupied, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was bothering him. She attributed it to his ongoing memory issues and the stress of adjusting to hi

Marcus's eyes snapped open, and he sat up from the bed where he was laying, his heart racing like a jack rabbit from the vivid dream he just had. He rubbed his temples, trying to shake off the lingering emotions. In the dream, he was carrying a woman out of a burning building, her body limp in his arms. He hadn't seen her face, but his emotions had been intense, driven by a deep sense of love and concern. The dream's vivid imagery still lingered, and he could almost feel the intense heat of the flames engulfing him. Sweat dripped down his face, stinging his eyes.
