“Whoa!” Julia suddenly shrieked, pointing out of the car window. “Claire, look! There are so many cars parked here today!”

Claire had noticed that as well and nodded. “Yes. It seems like people have

Julia hissed as she narrowed her eyes and stroked her chin in faux contemplation. “I don’t really get it. No one else was living here two days ago, so why are there so many people here now? It’s like a pop–up market. All of a sudden, they’re gone. Then, they’re back again just as suddenly.”

place.”

Just then, a tall man walked out from behind the divider. The man had a pair of white gloves on as he held a white vase. Upon seeing Claire, he smiled and gently said, “What a coincidence.”

Victor, who was standing behind the divider, nearly choked on his saliva wher
