"You know Master Z?" Aurelia gasped.
Viktor didn't seem too comfortable with the obvious accusation, but he replied, "Yes."
"Saint, contact them to accept the offer," Dimitris ordered.
"Hold your horses, Grumpy Bottom," Aurelia huffed.
It was my turn to hold back a snicker while I looked over to my bestie, along with everyone else.
"Grumpy what?" Dimitris growled.
Aurelia laughed and got up. "Grumpy Bottom," she said with delicacy as she winked. "That's your nickname."
"I'm not..." He trailed off as what she was implying seemed to click, and I couldn't help but smile widely while Aurelia laughed and moved to whisper in my ear.
"You gotta tell me if I'm right."
"Sure thing, bestie," I hummed.
"You two are just dangerous together," Saint concluded with a hopeless expression.
"At least we'll always be entertained while they're together," Jayce offered.
"While Dimitris pops a few blood vessels," Neo calmly concluded. "So, what's the game plan? Are we taking time off or not?"
"I'd advise you all to take things slow for the next three months," Viktor tossed out, and that got our attention as we all looked to him. The serious lines on his face told me something was wrong.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
He looked hesitant to reply, but after one scan around the table, he let out a sigh.
"Roberto's in a coma."
What?!

Fool Me Once, Fool Me Twice

"His vital signs have been stable and we're doing multiple tests to pinpoint what could have triggered the coma. He's very safe in our care. Would you like me to add you to the emergency contacts if we need to update you?"
"No."
My eyes looked over to Willow as she stood with her arms crossed over her chest. Sunglasses sat upon her face to hide her stoic expression while she wore a fitted black sequin dress. Her hair was left down, carrying a hint of curls in its pink-with-white-highlights coloring. She completed her look with black Christian Louboutin heels and a flat rhinestone purse that clearly held the essentials.
"It's not necessary. I'll be informed when necessary," she concluded.
"Should I at least write you down as next of kin?" she hesitantly inquired.
Willow didn't say anything. I knew she was hiding her expression, but her aura was on a very threatening level.
A level this nurse could feel. She was fighting the urge to tremble like a frightened kitten.
"I will inform you of the details for that section," I spoke up, knowing Willow wouldn't say a word.
"O-Okay," she replied. "I'll leave you two alone. The next rounds will be in fifteen minutes," she declared and bowed at both of us before scurrying out of the room. Once the door closed, I looked at Roberto, who was hooked up to various machines, an oxygen mask snuggled onto his face.
