But Dawn couldn’t say anything to Micah yet. It was too chaotic. Everything felt tangled, like a mess she couldn’t sort out.

She forced a small smile. “I’m probably just exhausted and didn’t rest well. Want to eat out?”

There really wasn’t any other option.

The siblings might not share many obvious traits, but there was one–neither of them could cook.

The walk out of the complex was long. They treated it like a stroll, chatting as they walked,

After some small talk, Dawn suddenly asked, “Do you know much about Vincent?”

Micah froze. There was a brief flicker of unease in his eyes.

“Why ask that all of a sudden?”

“What do you mean, all of a sudden?”

Dawn tried to keep her tone normal. “He’s our biological father. Even if he’s done things wrong, that doesn’t change the fact.”

Micah let out a cold laugh and answered without thinking, “More than just a few things wrong. He’s barely even human—”

His expression stiffened abruptly. He realized he’d misspoken.

Dawn didn’t let it go. Her sharp gaze locked onto him. “Sounds like you know a lot.”

Micah didn’t just know a lot. Some things were carved into his mind, like a book, a movie, a diary–every detail vivid and impossible to forget.

But he wouldn’t tell Dawn. And he didn’t know where to start, even if he wanted to.

“How much could I possibly know?”

Micah went back to his usual defiant attitude, speaking casually.

“I’ve been abroad for years. I’ve heard bits and pieces, sure. Mr. West is known for ruthless methods. In business, he never leaves his opponents any room. Someone like that, how good could he be?”

Dawn clearly didn’t buy it. “That’s all?”

“What else would there be?”

Micah shot her a look. “I’m not some kind of fortune–teller. You lived with him for three years and still didn’t figure much out. And you’re expecting me to?”

Fair enough.

Dawn pressed her lips together and stayed quiet for a while.

Micah tilted his head and muttered, “Can you stop zoning out every now and then? It’s kind of creepy.”

She used to be more normal.

Dawn punched him lightly.

“I’m your sister. Can you be a little more polite?”

“I only zoned out for ten minutes. Stop bringing it up. You might not be tired of it, but I am.”

Their bickering carried far down the street. With faces like theirs, they drew a lot of looks from passersby.

After leaving the complex and turning a couple of corners, they reached the busy district. Restaurants lined both sides of the street. To accommodate a patient, Dawn picked a lighter place. Micah wasn’t thrilled.

“I want something spicy.”

“You can’t eat spicy right now.”

“But I really want it.”

“Then tomorrow your ass is gonna be on fire.”

Micah sucked in a sharp breath. After a long pause, too crude!”

he

stammered, “Dawn… h–how can you say something that crude? Y–you’re way

He didn’t know that talk like that was pretty common in Crestavia.

And while Dawn wasn’t exactly a proper lady, she didn’t usually joke like this either.

One crack today, and he was blushing like crazy.

Dawn glanced at the tips of his ears, now bright red, and couldn’t helping

“Didn’t expect that, Micah. You’re actually so easily embarrassed.”

“That’s not the point!”

Micah lowered his voice. He still felt like that line was way too graphic for a public place.

“Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore.” Dawn took the tablet from the server. “What do you wanna eat? My treat. Consider it compensation for the trauma I caused.”

“Whatever. I’ll eat anything.”

Micah really was embarrassed. He practically wanted to hide his face with both hands.

Dawn couldn’t hold it in. Looking at the boy in front of her, even the gloom from earlier seemed to lift. She had the server recommend a few dishes, then handed the tablet back.

“Oh, right.”

Micah suddenly remembered something.

“Aren’t you and Roxanne kind of at odds? Has she been messing with you lately?”

Only then did Dawn realize Roxanne had gone completely quiet. That woman… She’s not pulling anything sneaky behind the scenes, is she?

She glanced at Micah.

“You seem pretty close to her.”

“…”

Micah had been about to say that they were indeed pretty close, but when he met his sister’s cool expression, the words got stuck.

He changed it quickly. “Not really. We don’t interact much. We just know each other.”

Dawn made a vague sound and asked, “How did you two meet?”

“Ethan studied there too.”

Ethan.

Right.

They used to be at the same school and got along well,

SO Micah knew Roxanne.

Dawn lifted her glass and took a sip of water. The movement was hurried, like she was hiding something. Afterward, she smiled faintly. “I’ve pretty much forgotten about him anyway. Didn’t even think of it.”
