"Chapter 1116
This comment somewhat reassured Evelyn Thompson, who didn't go after them.
The neighbor's house was quiet with the lights on the first floor turned on.
As the man walked in, a scent of coffee assailed his nostrils.
A steaming cup of coffee, rich with the aroma of milk, lay untouched on the table.
He glanced sideways into the courtyard and found Chloe Collins.
She was playing with the dogs.
He didn't disturb her, he just stood and stared.
She noticed him after a while.
"The coffee's for you," she said.
Alexander Foster crouched down beside her, placing a hand on the head of the dog in her arms.
"You still awake?" He asked.
Chloe put the puppy back into its cage, "Didn't you say you'll tell me a story? I was waiting for you."
He flexed his lips: "Um, storytelling."
Chloe started to walk away, dropping one line: "Then, come in fifteen minutes. I will take a shower first."
"Chlo-Chlo."
She turned back, looking at him.
