Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Morris looked at her with a touch of sadness. "I waited up for you last night, Nathalie. Couldn't catch a wink of sleep."

Nathalie felt a wave of guilt wash over her. She squeezed Morris's hand, her voice thick with emotion. "Nathan, I'm really sorry. I broke my promise."

Morris gave her a gentle pat on the head, his touch filled with warmth. "So, I hear you brought Cameron back?"

Nathalie nodded. "Yeah, I struck a deal with Greta. I helped her find Cameron, and in return, she's gonna help me sort out..." She hesitated, not quite ready to talk about the ominous signs surrounding Morris.

"Sort out what?" Morris asked, clearly intrigued.

Nathalie gave a reassuring smile. "Oh, nothing major. Just a little arrangement that benefits us both."

"So, did you let Cameron meet with Greta?" Morris asked.

Nathalie replied, "Greta may look all sweet and innocent, but she's got a crafty side. I have to be cautious with her. If she doesn't meet my terms first, she won't see Cameron."

Morris chuckled. "Looks like you're getting sharper, Nathalie."

Just then, a waiter came over with the menu, taken aback for a moment by Morris's striking good looks.

Nathalie reached out. "Can I take a look at the menu, please?"

The waiter, a bit flustered, handed the menu to Nathalie. She quickly picked out a few special dishes and handed it back. The waiter, still a little embarrassed, made his way back to the kitchen.
