Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Pensive

AT THE CAFE

The familiar aroma of coffee, sweets, and flowers created an instant dose of dopamine for Enora that morning as she sat in her favorite spot in the café. Having work to distract her from her messy behind-the-scenes life never failed to help her focus and solve problems.

A current problem being the gnawing nagging in her gut that a dire event was on the horizon; excluding the war that Bianchi would set a day for any time now. Something was to happen that would put her in mortal danger, but she couldn’t let Victor know this. He had insisted on dropping her off every morning to scope out the place even though it had been a safe haven thus far; she could only imagine how he would act with this new development.

Besides, there was a chance the feeling would go away.

“What are you thinking about?” Lilla asked, sliding into the seat across from her.

“Nothing much, a lot on my mind. Things to do at home.”
