Alistair stepped into a sunlit hat store with Eloise by his side.

The summer heat was kicking in, and it was time to find her a couple of good sun hats.

While he browsed, Eloise got distracted by a Persian cat strutting past the shop window. She stood at the glass, tapping gently and cooing, "Kitty, kitty..."

She was always well-behaved. Even with the door right there, she never wandered off. Ever since that one terrifying incident where a careless nanny had nearly lost her, Eloise had learned to stay close. If she couldn't hold a grown-up's hand, she'd stay within arm's reach, never out of sight.

Alistair knew Eloise didn't. She didn't lie, and she didn't make things up.

He took every word she said seriously.

He discreetly contacted his security team and asked if they'd seen any suspicious strangers nearby.

Their answer was unexpected. No suspicious strangers. But... there was a suspiciously familiar face.

Alistair raised an eyebrow, thoughtful. Then he calmly selected a hat, paid for it, and stepped out of the shop with Eloise still in his arms.
