Dominic glanced at Vespera, who was expressionless, and softened his voice. "Try to get some rest tonight. Don't wander around. The weather here is unpredictable. Take care of yourself."

Vespera didn't move. It was just a simple exchange. It was nothing out of the ordinary, but she felt that something was shifting.

Ever since the conversation on the plane, a subtle undercurrent had started. And today, when they saw each other again, the change was unmistakable.

Dominic's footsteps grew softer. Vespera slowly walked over to the railing and looked down the empty stairwell, lost in thought.
