The sun rose again indicating day break, a day where few humans would wake up and fewer will see the next sunrise. The contrasting beauty of the sun over the horizon and the Hunan's hostile nature made one wonder the splendor of the being who created all things. The blanket covered his knees and in his hand was a glass of white wine- a prelude to the breakfast he had already ordered. “Awe-inspiring, my ancestors had outdone themselves.” He said, gazing out of the window. The door bell rang, he came down and opened the door, it was James. He was quite anything Davin wanted him to be, a driver when he needed a ride, a delivery man when he needed food, a friend when he needed companionship. In all, James was a loyal and versatile servant.“I got you all you need for the week, I'm thinking you sent the list because you don't want to step out.” James said, dropping the items one by one.“Well said and very thoughtful of you to help out.” Davin acknowledged his assistance, “where are you

GOODNEWS ALAS!“Hello, Peter, you have the courtesy to finally call. So thoughtful of you.” Derek said sarcastically.“I'm sorry boss, I got carried away by our victory so I slept off.” Peter apologized.“That's really interesting.

“Davin! Helen!” she called out, her voice loud enough to attract the attention of other visitors. “I heard about Mom. Is she okay?”“Maya,” Davin said, keeping his voice steady. “What are you doing here?”“I came to support my family,” she said, tilting her head slightly. “Isn’t that what family does?”Helen shot Davin a look, and he felt the tension rise between them. “Support?” he echoed, doubt lacing his tone. “Or to make sure everyone knows you’re here?”Maya laughed, a sound that felt more like a challenge. “Oh, come on.

Davin sat at the dinning table, a half-finished cup of coffee in front of him, flipping through a stack of paperwork from work. The morning sun streamed through the window, casting a warm glow, but a sense of unease gnawed at him. Just then, Helen burst into the room, her face a mix of urgency and concern.“Davin!

She’s seriously ill,” Helen said, her words tumbling out in a rush. “They’re flying her out of Arctic City for specialized medication.”Davin’s heart sank. “What do you mean, ‘seriously ill’? What’s going on?”“They didn’t give me all the details, just that she needs immediate treatment,” Helen replied, her eyes brimming with concern. “They’re arranging a private jet to get her to the mainland for the best care.”“Why didn’t they call me?” he asked, rising from the table, the papers scattering as he stood.“I think t

As they finished their ice cream, Mia let out a satisfied sigh, her face smeared with chocolate and mint. Davin couldn’t help but chuckle at her delight. “You’ve got a bit of ice cream on your nose, kiddo,” he teased, reaching over with a napkin.Mia giggled, swiping at her nose with the back of her hand. “It’s part of the experience!” she declared with the seriousness of a gourmet critic. “Then I suppose I’m not allowed to clean you up,” Davin replied, exchanging a knowing glance with Helen.

We need to do that more often,” he said, taking another sip of coffee. “It was nice to reconnect.”Helen smiled, the warmth of his words wrapping around her like a cozy blanket. “So, what’s on the agenda for today?

The evening air was cool as Davin drove home, the satisfaction of the day’s meeting still buzzing in his mind.
