The operation against the locust swarm was scheduled for tomorrow morning. There was no time to waste. Every time the thought crossed her mind, a cold flutter twisted in her stomach, and an unshakable restlessness settled over her chest.
While Addison reorganized her thoughts, trying to piece them together into something coherent so she wouldn't sound scattered or unsure, Levi had already finished brewing her coffee. He added three cubes of sugar and a splash of milk, stirring it thoroughly before setting the cup in front of her.
"Drink some coffee first," he said quietly.
Then he turned to Chase. Levi placed another cup on the table, but this time he left the sugar and milk aside. He didn't know Chase's preferences, nor did he care to think about them right now. After that, he took a seat opposite Chase, added a single sugar cube to his own cup, stirred it once, and took a slow sip, his gaze never leaving Addison.
