Hypatia, Empress.

"Do you know what I found today in Hypatia's office?"

The rat ran out through the door I had left open for his exit. When it disappeared, I closed the room after putting up the do not disturb sign.

"What did you find?"

"Kevin."

He laughed.

"Don't laugh. It's serious. It's sickening."

"You didn't think so that time when...."

I threatened him with my finger to shut him up. And I got worried because he was still shaking.

"Come on, Stella."

"That was different."

"I don't think so."

I rolled my eyes and he laughed louder than before. He was an idiot and still is.

"Go and see the rest of what is going to be our house until Hypatia pulls her strings to give us a good and nice place to live."

"You sounded so vomitous."

"Today everything for you is vomitous, sweetheart."

"Not everything," I said before going to the bedroom.
