Eric glanced at the meal set on the table, then rose from his chair and took out a cigarette to smoke. Exhaling smoke into the air, he shifted his gaze towards Sara's purse. In the washroom, Sara splashed cold water on her face, feeling overwhelmed and uneasy. Looking at herself in the mirror, she panted, feeling a rush of emotions. Everything felt too familiar— the same dishes Kevin had ordered for them in the past, the same restaurant, the same cabin, the same table, and chair. Was it all coincidental?

"Don't be like a kid, Yohan. Let's go." Sara served him and sat nearby, watching him eat. He used to avoid talking while eating, but with time, he'd become a bit chattier. "You could've arranged the client meeting during office hours," Yohan commented. "Tried that. He's leaving for a trip tomorrow and won't be back for days. Had to meet him in the evening," Sara explained. "For dinner?" "No, Yohan. His project's too big for us to pass up." "You should just rejoin Cerate or work for Dixon Group.
