Chapter 65: Stanley ‘STAN’ Norris vs. Ian ‘WILL’ Williams ~ A perfect balance of danger and charm… The Talk!

***

Under the shelter of a picturesque gazebo in a beautiful garden, soft classical music and chatter could be heard. The gazebo was surrounded by well-trimmed shrubs and colorful flowers which gave off a lovely fragrance, and attractive potted plants that gave the structure a look of elegance and grace.

In the gazebo, Mathias, Anton, Stan, and Will sat around a table with an array of breakfast dishes, eating and chatting.

“Know what son,” Mathias addressed a clearly smitten Will at some point, “You can actually eat and gaze at him at the same time.” His amused gaze was on the Arrowhead’s plate.

“What?” Will flushed, tearing his gaze away from Stan. “I wasn’t gazing…”

“Yes, you were.” The Admiral scoffed, drawing a chuckle from Anton and a smile from Stan.

“I’m eating, Sir.” Will forked a strip of juicy bacon into his mouth even as he glared at Stan who looked amused.

“Well, you weren’t.”

“Get off his case already, Matt.” Anton yawned.
