Stop Crying

Christine finally went back home.

As the driver turned into the neighborhood, she spotted two sleek black cars parked in front of her house - a Maybach and a Cadillac.

The driver pulled up behind the Maybach. Before the car had fully stopped, James Cooper jumped out from the Maybach's passenger seat and jogged over to greet her.

James had good intentions. He'd been next to Adrian during those two bizarre phone calls and had "unfortunately" heard everything. His original plan was to smooth things over, hoping to ease the strange tension that had suddenly developed between them and set the stage for a proper conversation.

However, as soon as he got out, he saw Christine hurriedly getting out of her car with her bag, wearing an unusual expression of anxiety as she rushed toward the Maybach's back seat.

Christine opened the car door, looking for Adrian.

…Instead, she found Thomas sprawled across the back seat, fast asleep.
