That's an, um, interesting endearment.
"Stupid… tall tree!" Mallory cursed while walking away from there.

Awww, thanks for caring!
"Don't go too far. I don't need anyone stealing the monkey," Hadeon called after her, loud enough to attract attention.

Death Poke Salad. Sounds tasty. ☠️
Another villager, who had followed, scratched his head, looking utterly perplexed. "Um, my Lord, are you saying you want us to fetch you some Death Poke for dinner?"

It was her time.
"Please don't strain yourself. You're not going anywhere, and I'm right here," Jane reassured her, seeing Martha smile and hum in response. But two weeks later, with the winter growing harsher, the old woman passed away peacefully in her sleep.

Not me. He hasn't quite grown on me. I guess he's not my type. 🤷♀️
Jane chuckled softly and teased, "How many other women have you charmed with that line, Mr. Wood?"

Don't believe it fotra moment 😮💨
Ricardo shrugged. "A bit, but I heard this cafe sells the best sandwiches from mi amigo, so I thought I'd give it a try as a snack," he explained, watching Jane settle in front of him. "Fate works in mysterious ways, doesn't it, Miss Reinhart? Who would have thought we'd end up here at the same time?"

And he just happened to be right there as she stepped in?
Turning around, Jane spotted Ricardo sitting at a table, eating a sandwich with one hand. As he chewed, he smiled at her, his eyes twinkling. He gestured at the seat next to him. After paying at the counter, she walked over to where he was seated.

That's him!
Hadeon reclined leisurely before responding, "The marvels of deception and the gullibility of mortals. Before my extended nap, I had rumours circulate that I was moving to the east, leaving another to tend to the affairs of my estate. Upon my return, another announcement was made, declaring that Van Doren's heir was going to resume his lordship."

😂
"Aw, when you put it that way, it's almost tempting," Hadeon grinned like a Cheshire cat, earning himself a glare in return. "But I must warn that I come with a label: 'Danger: May cause heartache, headaches, and an insatiable desire for midnight snacks.'"

Snacks for whom?

We'll see how long never lasts then.
Mallory flinched at the thought and felt the intense need to roll her eyes. She retorted, "I haven't. Rest assured, I will never."

Do you want her to?
"Mallory," Hadeon called her by her name to her surprise. "Have you fallen in love with me? You have been staring at me a lot. I wouldn't be surprised, because of how loveable I am."

And he looks younger too, no doubt.
Simultaneously, Mallory's gaze fixed on Hadeon as he deftly gathered his long locks, securing them into a sleek ponytail. With his hair now neatly tied back, his piercing eyes commanded attention, which exuded a calm aura that felt unnerving. She later realised he had done it so to avoid being compared to George's hideous art that covered the walls of the town.

Never say never!
"Don't. Even. Think. About. It," Mallory ground out through gritted teeth, her shoulders tense with resolve. She would never be one of the night creatures!

Goulsville sounds like a charming place.
"Barnby, prepare the carriage for our departure to Ghoulsville," Hadeon commanded his servant, who promptly bowed and exited the hall. Then, turning to Mallory, he declared, "You'll be joining me."

Or just helping full stop. Certainly doesn't seem to want to help solve the case.
"We will be there the next time before anyone tries to contaminate the scene," Jane said, wondering what the murderer's motivation was. She went on to say, "Sometimes I feel Gruger is helping the murderer with his stupidity."

Crazy, right? What an eventful couple of days. And you are already his monkey.
"I can't believe only two nights have passed since I almost got beheaded and met Hadeon," Mallory murmured as she recalled the night of her desperation to run.
