"Your help is more than enough. Ian must be busy. We shouldn't bother him," Xavier said, filling the silence.
"You're right, Ian's swamped. I've been trying to meet with him, but he hasn't had the time."
"Oh? Are you in some kind of trouble? Maybe I can help," Xavier offered.
"Are you free? Let's grab a drink. I've had something on my mind all day and need to talk it out."
"Sure. The usual place," Xavier replied, clearly needing a break himself.
They met in a VIP room on the third floor of a downtown bar. Henry arrived first, followed shortly by Xavier, dressed in casual clothes.
"Alright, what's been bothering you all day?" Xavier asked curiously.
Henry leaned in close. "Xavier, I need to ask you a serious question, and I want an honest answer."
Xavier nodded, taking a sip of his tea.
"Do you think Ian and Vanessa ever slept together?" Henry asked, his voice dead serious.
Xavier nearly choked on his tea. After a few coughs, he looked at Henry, stunned. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"Xavier, what kind of mess is this? If it was just a transaction, why didn't he tell us? If he had, maybe I—" Henry cut himself off.
Xavier looked at him. "You were going to say that if he had told you the truth, you and Vanessa would have had kids by now?"
Henry's thoughts were an open book to Xavier. He gave a bitter smile. "But now, everything feels different. I've started to let some things go."
Xavier looked up at Henry. "That question you asked me earlier, do you still want an answer?"
"Tell me what you think. Let's see if we're on the same page," Henry said, leaning back comfortably on the sofa.

Story not going anywhere....
I love this couple, I hope they get back together!...
Without Vanessa to serve as an antagonist, it’s turned a reasonably story into dead wood. I just can't anymore. After, Vanessa's life went downhill it was the perfect time to wrap up the story....
