351 - From the ashes: Please, sis

Daemon suppressed a desire to roll his eyes, and walked forward:

"Do you believe that I will lock you up and feed you until you are fat?"

"I believe."

Evelyn immediately nodded with the sheepish smile, as he snapped the laptop shut and took it away from her. She indeed believed him. She knew when her fiance was serious.

Daemon glared at the young mother who had been a handful ever since her son had left the house for just the two of them, but then felt his dissatisfaction melt away at the soft look she was attacking his heart with. He rolled his eyes at her, this time unable to suppress that desire anymore, and put the laptop to the side.

He exhaled, and only then did he returned to the question Evelyn had asked before:

"Your brother is here. He is downstairs, waiting for you to decide whether to meet him or not."
