All nighter......1
It was unusual for the time to clock eight in the night without grandma Mayfair being home. Her absence and that of Phoebe made Edward uncomfortable as soon as he got home from the office and he called her.
"Mother, where are you both?"
"At work, we are busy and we are pulling an all nighter." she answered and ended the call.
Edward eyes trailed slowly over the phone as he wondered what kind of all nighter was needed at a cafe. Serving coffee and snacks did not need one to work over night. He had never stepped foot into his daughter's cafe and he figured now was the right moment to do so.
Without bothering to shower or change as he originally planned, he left the house. On the way to the garage, he met his wife that was from doing some house shopping. She was openly surprised to see him leaving with his work briefcase and in the same clothes he had gone to work in that morning.
"Oh, Edward, honey, where are you going? Is there trouble at work?"
