He smells like the expensive scotch he always drinks and the raw, musky scent of the woman who just stormed out. It’s overwhelming. It’s making my head spin. "Austin, I... I didn't mean to," I stammer. My heart is a trapped bird in my chest, fluttering against my ribs. "I just heard a noise and I thought maybe you were hurt…"

the other detective calmly requested, sensing the atmosphere and how each one in the room was over the edge.

He even played with the two young masters for a little while before heading back to his quarters. Edith watched Austin’s retreating figure and said, “Isa, this Austin is so good that I’m starting to suspect he might have other motives.” “Isa’s already got him all figured out. She even investigated him twice. He’s from Wiltspoon, far from here, and it’s been confirmed that he has no business or connections here before this, so he’s here purely to cook, with no ulterior motives,” Tati said, laughing.

"Mr. Austin, are you here to visit Mr. Cedric?" "How is Mr. Carlson's condition now?" Amidst a crowd of journalists, Austin stood tall, pausing briefly to furrow his brow before addressing the media.

The girl quickly gathered all her papers, and she reflexively closed her laptop screen roughly because she heard the sound of Austin's footsteps approaching.

He is looking at Robin Hood, listening to him blab about the amount of resources he has spent on constructing a ferris wheel. Who the hell cares? Not Austin, I definitely can tell. As they come closer, Austin stops looking at his tour guide and looks at us. I nearly fall on my ass. The children push me from behind and I bounce back on my feet, while they yell their excitement.
