Izzy walks into Oliver's study to inform him that dinner is ready. she opens the door to see him pacing

hey, is anything wrong? asked Izzy looking at him

no there is no problem just stretching my legs. said Oliver not wanting to let her know that Shadrach has escaped

where is Mili? I thought I heard him come in. said Izzy

he left, you know he is busy. smiled Oliver

busy? that is strange, Mili is never too busy for food. said Izzy surprised that Mili left without saying hi

he has grown. smiled Oliver trying to hide his anxiousness

let's go have dinner. said Izzy as smiles at her husband having a feeling that something is not right.

Amanda looks at Mili not knowing what to feel with what he said about having girl trouble

I had a girl problem years ago. said Mili

oh. ok. said Amanda relieved it wasn't recently. she knows even if it is recent she has no right to be angry or jealous but somehow she is very relieved it was long ago.
