Chapter 200 Address

• Grace
• It had taken an hour after I woke Eason up to get to the right person in the police forces to activate the curfew protocols. I didn't even know those existed until tonight. I thought Eason would go back to sleep after it was done, but he just settled at the table on the back patio in the cold night air on his laptop for the next few hours. I didn't even think he went to sleep, even though I did.
• I woke up feeling guilty and showered. Either Charles or Eason had set out a new suit in a deep, rich royal blue for me, but the luxury of the way it felt on my skin felt hollow. I couldn't even feel a bit of joy at the breakfast that Charles had made. Eason was at the table, tearing through steaks with what looked like a frozen drink beside him. He didn't look much better or say much before leaving and heading to City Hall. The chauffered car picked me up and drove to City Hall. The streets were filled with people like normal, and my mind was miles away.
