Alexander drove to Dominic’s place that night. As if knowing he would come, the older man had prepared a pot of tea and some dishes. He smiled upon seeing Alexander, saying, “I’ve been waiting for you.”
“How did you—”
“You must’ve come to ask about the invisible woman, huh?” Dominic cut to the chase.
Alexander chuckled. “Didn’t you say it’s nothing but horseshit?”
Dominic laughed heartily. “Yes, it’s horseshit indeed! Still, I knew you’d come and ask about it in person. I just didn’t expect you to come this soon. How about we talk over dinner?”
He poured Alexander a cup of tea and filled his own glass with wine.
Alexander nodded. “Sure!”
He glanced around and asked, “Where’s Galen?”
“He is playing in the back. I didn’t tell him you’d be coming, just in case you didn’t. I don’t want to disappoint him.” The older man was considerate.
Alexander felt bad knowing Galen must have missed him and Lily.
“I heard the twins have returned, huh?” Dominic asked after sipping his wine.
Alexander nodded. “Yes, they have!”
