As previously agreed between Staylie and Karel—now, the two of them were in the stage of sharing personal stories with one another.
Staylie herself was trying to understand what was in Karel’s heart. Being a good listener, and someone who could offer thoughtful solutions.
Lately, Karel had been facing a whirlwind of problems in his life. From a construction accident that claimed lives, to parties demanding compensation for lost time, and even some workers quitting after witnessing supernatural occurrences around the site. Karel had to be extra alert in handling every conflict.
Exactly a week had passed since the pile of issues struck the progress of his major project, and now it was time for Karel to finally take a break this weekend.

Karel arrived at Staylie’s house, planning to take her out like they usually did on Sundays. His car was already parked in front of her house.
Beep. Beep.
He clicked the remote lock, then slipped the key back into his pocket.
