Alex sat by the phone, his legs swinging anxiously as he waited for it to ring.

These days, it had become a routine listening to Linda’s sweet voice every morning.

The maid entered, carefully balancing a bowl of dark, glossy liquid on a silver tray.

Alex wrinkled his nose at the sight.

The tonic, brewed from the rare Spectral Forest Fruit, had a deep black hue that made it look more

He pushed the bowl away with an expression of pure disgust.

“Alex, you’re a big boy now,” she teased lightly. “You have the right to say no.”
