After training ended that afternoon, Derrick was already waiting by the car. The second he saw me, he stepped forward. “Here, let me carry your backpack.”

“No thanks.” I dodged his hand and opened the door myself, sliding into the passenger seat.

He gave me a quick look but didn’t argue, then went around to the driver’s side and got in.

Starting the engine, he said, “I reserved a new foreign restaurant for tonight. The head chef is from Westveil. He’s amazing with energy meals. I’ll take you to try it.”

I just nodded. Derrick stayed quiet after that, and the car felt kind of … still.

When we arrived, a grand building in a classic style towered in front of us. Crystal chandeliers sparkled in the evening light. The doormen, dressed perfectly, guided us inside with flawless manners.

The moment we stepped in, I froze. The hall was completely empty. Only a soft violin melody floated in the air. He’d obviously booked the entire place.

“Sit here for a bit. I’m going to the restroom.” Derrick pulled out my chair by the window like it was nothing.

I didn’t think much and sat down, unlocking my phone.

A message from Samson lit up the screen. “Ms. Cobbett, don’t forget our first Isnesh language lesson at eight tonight.”

It hit me. It was Monday. We’d scheduled that lesson long ago.

I quickly sent back an okay sign and was about to put the phone down when Derrick returned.

“Amanda, want a drink? Maybe wine?” He sat across from me and gestured to the waiter.

“Anything is fine,” I said casually, though my brain was already running through tonight’s lesson.

I needed to prepare the basic Isnesh grammar and keep Sara’s raspy voice steady so I wouldn’t mess up.

Derrick’s eyebrows lifted with a small grin. “You’ve got class tomorrow, right? I’ll get you some fresh energy juice-it’s good for stamina.”

“Sure. Thanks.” I nodded, my eyes drifting toward the window. It was two hours till eight. I hoped dinner would wrap up fast.

We sat across from each other. It wasn’t exactly awkward, but something felt off.

I toyed with the bread on my plate, wishing I could just finish and leave already. Alice teased, “Kinda weird, huh? Private dinner, special juice-he’s totally setting the mood.”

I ignored her and silently begged for the night to move faster.

Halfway through the meal, the lights suddenly went out. Darkness dropped over us. I flinched and gripped the utensils tightly. “What’s going on?”
