New Arc: Double-Edged Sword 46/XLVI. Damoiseau in Distress (Mastered)

That mockery of a trial came to a close too short for all of the heartache that the defendant caused.

“Arthur!” Irene called out and waved as she stood waiting at the doorstep of the Smith small mansion while Matthew pulled into the driveway.

“How long have you been here waiting?” Arthur stepped out of the vehicle, and rushed into Irene into one of the coldest afternoon and laid his cotton jacket upon her shoulders.

The thick and soft feathers inside his black jacket warmed her, but the way he rushed to her warmed her heart more than anything else..

“Not that long. I understand I wasn’t welcome at that place, I didn’t want to go with you being awkward and all.” Her thick rs and her Russian accent intimidated him at first, but the way she said it was rather soft, and not snobby compared to her first interaction with Arthur.
