Lucas said, "I know you still need to review the blueprints. I have a computer here; you can continue with your work." Aveline's brow furrowed with resistance.

But Lucas, watching her closely, added, "Aveline, stay with me. We're about to get divorced. After that, you'd never agree to a request like this. Consider it... fulfilling our last obligations as a married couple?" His voice was low and gentle, softening his tone to its most persuasive.
