Gonzalez steamed some fish he had saved in the freezer, scrambled a few eggs, and threw together a simple soup.

Whether it was the familiar smell of his cooking or the fact that she was starving, Norah's stomach let out a loud rumble the second she sat down.

Gonzalez flaked the fish onto a small plate for her. Norah ate her portion while occasionally dropping a piece for Circe.

Scrambled eggs were the most basic meal imaginable, but right now, they tasted infinitely better than the gourmet tuna sushi they had served at the gala.

He spent the meal separating the bones from her fish, eating nothing himself. He just watched her quietly, occasionally checking his phone to reply to work emails.

"Why aren't you eating?" Norah asked between bites.

"I ate before the event," he replied mildly.

Remembering that, she pulled out her phone and shot Adrian a text. [Sorry for bailing on you.]

Adrian was already miles away from the hotel. Sitting in the back of his car, he read Norah's text, a bitter smile twisting his lips. [It's okay.]

He tossed his phone onto the seat. Suddenly, he dreaded the thought of going home to an empty apartment.
