Strangers

The four of them make their way to a nearby seafood restaurant, the air thick with unspoken tensions.

Layla leads the conversation, chatting animatedly with Ramsey about their interests and experiences.

The woman looks pretty enamoured.

Ramsey is playing her like a fiddle, his smiles not quite reaching his eyes and the curl of his lips almost mocking.

Robin would almost pity her if she weren't preoccupied with the early murderer sitting directly opposite her.

Robin sits quietly, sipping her wine and trying to avoid Malik's intense gaze.

She can feel his eyes on her, and it takes all her willpower to maintain her composure. Inwardly, she rages, desperate to lash out at the man who killed her baby..

As the meal progresses, Ramsey and Layla seem to be getting along famously, layla's giggling filling the air.

Malik, on the other hand, remains largely silent, his attention focused solely on Robin.
