Michael Coleman might be physically gone, but his greatest creation—his contingency plan, his legacy, his immortality—was sleeping in the cabin below us, wearing our son's face.

The banquet ended past midnight. Luke sat in the front passenger seat of his Rolls-Royce, pressing his index finger against his temple. He had long, artist's fingers.

The bed was cold. Again. I didn’t need to check the clock to know Michael had retreated to his office in the dead of night. He called it "dedication to the firm," but as I stared at the empty space beside me, it felt more like an escape. "Thirty days, Palesa. Then it’s over," he had whispered last night, his voice devoid of warmth. Day five.

And Michael came back inside the building. Michael noticed Adrian standing at the corner and he might have known by now that Adrian have watched them closely and heard them all. He walked towards Adrian. “You two should be a little careful about hanging outside of your house,” he said to Adrian with a straight face. “Why?

After the coffee was dropped off, he had dumped twelve creamers into it and churned the mixture slowly with a spoon, turning the black liquid light tan.

Lance opened his eyes and looked around. He knew at once that he wasn’t in his room. He felt someone move against him and looked to see Sophie in his arms. She was still asleep. He couldn’t remember much from last night but all he knew was that after he had a drink which was too much, he had tried to fall asleep but he couldn’t so he dragged himself out of bed and somehow ended up by her side with her sleeping in his arms.
