Cate had just freshened up from the quarrel of the afternoon and faced Leslie. He had silver on each side, which she loved. The little five o'clock shadow that remained on his cheeks made her smile. Her crystal blue eyes never faded throughout the years but her spirit has dimmed a bit. “On top of it all, Hellfire is gone.

Oliver sat across from the trio and rubbed his temples “We’ll mates, welcome to the manor. My wife should arrive soon and so should...ahem...yourselves.” He grabbed a bottle of bourbon and poured a few glasses for them “You’ll need it, trust me.”
Cate gave Oliver the side eye “Oh I’m ready to drink it all...”
