"I'm alright." Liam Rhodes looked much better.
Scarlett Xavier looked at him, remembering how she had told him last time that she used to go by the name "whale," but he just wouldn't believe it.
He went out of his way to find her, forcing his subordinates to contact her.
Isn't that insane?

After dinner, with nothing to do, Scarlett accompanied her grandfather for a bit of chess.
Actually, it had been a long time since Scarlett last played chess with her grandpa.
As they played, she chatted with him.
Grandfather looked at Scarlett and said, "You must not be used to Julian not being home, right?"
Everyone knew how good Scarlett's relationship with Julian Rhodes was. After all, they were newlyweds and it was their first time apart for so long.
"It's actually better with him not here." Scarlett said, "I can spend more time with you, Grandpa, and I'm very happy about that."
