“Are you trying to provoke me?” she finally said to him.

Allister continued to stand behind her.

“What if i wasn’t?” he asked.

“Then, good luck.” she replied. Allister began to laugh and dropped himself on the vacant chair.

“You’re quite confident in him.” he said to her.

“Yes. after all.” she turned and death stared into Allister’s eyes. “I love him.”

“And that’s why I'll kill him,” he replied.

“Oh? Allister I didn't know you arrived.” Amalie said as she came through the door with a tray and a pot of hot tea.

“No worries mother, I'm only here to deliver some news to you.” he said as he got off the chair and made his way to her. “I’ll be away for some time.”
