Leopold: [Is that jerk Steven giving you trouble?]
Diana: [Grandpa, he can't botheranymore. It's okay, | can take care of
myself.]
Tobias: [Remember to callif anything happens.]
Diana: [Of course! I'll definitely bug you if Tneed anything, Tobias.]
Diana smiled as she tucked her phone

into her pocket, then grabbed her bag
and headed downstairs.
She didn't look at Steven but instead
went straight to the kitchen.
Steven didn't like outsiders coming in. Usually, it was just the two of them at
home, but most of the time, she was
alone.
She knew her way around the place by
now.

She found spumpkins in the fridge. After prepping them, she set them to

Steven sat on the couch, looking over 5/11
sdocuments, occasionally glancing
up at the kitchen.
Under the warm light, watching her busy
figure, he felt a sense of peace.
Forty minutes later, she had finished all
the dishes.
Seeing that she'd finished making dinner, Steven got up and went over to eat.
Diana crouched down to get glasses
from the cabinet. As she poured water,
she fumbled, dropping her glass. It shattered on the floor - her smiling face on the custom couple's mug now in
pieces.

Diana felt an inexplicable pang in her

heart. She'd specially made those couple
mugs for them.
She and Steven each got one.
Steven walked over and saw the broken
mug with Diana's photo on it.
"What's this?"
Steven crouched down to look, then
pulled out another mug from the
cabinet. It was identical to the one Diana
had broken.
This mug had his photo printed on it.

Steven froze, looking at Diana.

Diana kept her eyes down, not meeting his gaze. She stared at the broken pieces
on the floor, her voice calm. "I had these
couple mugs made on our third day of
marriage. | guess they knew we were
getting divorced, so this one just broke on its own.
"How lovely!"
Diana picked up the pieces and tossed
them in the trash.
Steven had never seen these mugs
before. She'd actually gone and had
them made.

Hearing her say it was lovely, his eyes darkened. "Diana, a mug with so much meaning breaks, and you tell me
it's lovely?"
Diana said nothing. Instead, she found two other mugs and made coffee for
them both.

She was thirsty.
She didn't have to stay here tonight.
Queenie would be here soon.

bowl of soup for Steven.
Steven glanced at the trash can before
heading to the table.

He sat across from her and said in a
9/11
tone that brooked no argument, "You're eating too."
Diana was already full and couldn't eat
more. "No need. I'm stuffed. And don't worry, | didn't poison your food. | have too much respect for cooking to
mess with it like that."
Steven trusted her on that point, at least.
He picked up the bowl of soup and took a sip. The familiar taste washed over him.
Looking at the spread of home-cooked dishes, he polished off two full-bowl!

dishes.

As he set down his fork, he watched
Diana sipping her coffee with her head
down.
"Diana, | was wrong to doubt you before. From now on, I'll try to trust..."
"There is no ‘from now on. I'm quitting tomorrow. | refuse to let you manipulate me. Do you think you can tear
"I'd rather die than stay with you. That's where | stand."
Diana thought to herself, "He thinks he

Steven's gaze darkened instantly. The air
grew frigid, the atmosphere suffocating. ""Diana..." Steven's voice was tight.
