"All good?"

A voice came from behind the sofa while he was closing Jess' bedroom door. He did not notice for the lights in the living room were not on. The only light in the room was the moonlight that entered through the sliding glass door to the balcony of their villa.

"Yes." 

"Coffee?" 

Two steaming cups of coffee were on the table. Luke was waiting for him to get out of the room. It irked him to think that he was guarding Jess against him. 

He sat down on the armchair without a word. Coffee was the last thing he wanted late at night. 

"Sorry, I just want to talk a bit." he has no plan to start the conversation with an apology but he was compelled to do so when he saw the annoyance in Noah's face. "Uhm, Jess can be difficult when drunk, it can be a challenge sometimes," he scrutinized Noah who was just wearing beige cotton shorts.
