It was almost evening, the sun had gone to sleep, and shadows trailed behind their owners. he was exhausted after spending most of the day at the hospital beside his mother, all he wanted to do was get home as fast as his tired legs could carry him, take a long cold shower to calm his throbbing nerves and muscle, whisk up a fast and healthy meal to eat and retire early to his bed. All these activities he had in mind might not go in accordance as he thought. He did not know which would come first as his eyes were almost

"Thanks, man. I owe you." “You owe me a bottle of scotch. Not the cheap stuff." Josh forced a grin. "Deal." Richie glanced between us one last time before leaving. I didn’t move until he shut the door behind him. Then Josh turned to me. “So you literally have nothing to say?” His voice wasn’t angry. It wasn’t cold. It was tired. I opened my mouth, but couldn’t speak. He waited. I stayed frozen. Josh took a deep breath and got to his feet. "Just leave then. Go. If that’s what you want."

“I think you need a story to lighten up your mood.” I chuckled softly. “Oh? You’re going to tell me a story now?” “Yup!” he grinned, sitting up straighter. “So, there’s this boy in my class named Ryan. He’s super funny, but he’s also the unluckiest kid I’ve ever met. Like, seriously, it’s almost like bad luck follows him around.” I leaned in, intrigued. “Oh? What happened?” Josh’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he began his story.

"Don't you listen to him, Beatrice. That man is only trying to win you over with his lies. Don't you dare fall for it. Why don't you move your butt now and go to your date now? Josh is already waiting for you." "Who's this Josh?" Drake inquired. "Why do you ask? That's not part of your worries anymore. But since you wanted to know badly about it, then let me tell you. Josh is a billionaire. He is super rich. Way richer than you." "Josh? Is that someone I know?" The way he reacted seemed to ring a bell. "Who cares if you know him or not? There is one important event right now and that's my sister-in-law finally meeting the man who will treasure her for life. Isn't that romantic?"

"And what about you, Josh? What adventures have you embarked on since we last met?" Josh's lips curled into a mischievous grin as he shared tales of his recent travels, the places he had visited, and the fascinating people he had encountered along the way. He painted vivid pictures with his words, transporting his listeners to far-off lands and exotic locales. As Josh spoke, Katie couldn't help but notice the gleam in Rose's eyes. It was evident that Josh's adventurous spirit resonated with her, sparking a flame of curiosity within her own soul. They were kindred spirits, connected by a shared thirst for exploration and an appreciation for life's wonders.

he stopped, looking for the best word. “Cold.” I finished it. So it was not just me after all. “Right? It’s been almost two weeks, but they both refuse to tell anyone what happened. I think Auntie Mallory knows something, that’s why they decided to stay for a while, but the rest of us are left in the dark,” he growled, lighting another cigarette. “To tell the truth, Richard is driving me nuts,” he said, letting out a huge puff of smoke. This alone told me how serious things were. Josh used to be an occasional smoker, only smoking when he was troubled, or going out with friends, but now he was technically a chain-smoker.

And not that he didn’t know of his sudden mood swings, he was actually thankful to Bolt for now probing him. Josh was happily humming while working on a new dish when an idea strikes. He quickly packed a Tupperware for Bolt to bring to him for a taste and turned to Pete to inform him but his phone buzzed at the moment. He checked the screen and his lips stretched into a big grin. “Hi, I was just about to call you. I am…” “Hello Josh, this is Richard.” Josh frowned to hear Richard talking on Bolt’s phone. “Uh, hi. What happened, Richard? Is everything okay?” He licked his dry lips. His heart was indicating something wrong had happened.
