“This is the blueprint of the western suburbs’ land,” Zephyr explained to her. “These are the partnership strategies of the project.”

He flipped to the last page, and Cordelia was surprised to see that her signature was on there. She looked at him in disbelief while he crouched in front of her and stroked her hair gently with a foolish smile.

She recalled that he had given her a few documents to sign back at the dressing room of the signing event the last time, claiming he hoped she could fight alongside him and share the risks.
