A few days later, Simon sat in his office, looking quite solemn and his gaze peculiar, seeming to be in a daze.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
While lost in his unreadable thoughts, there was a knock at the door, and his heart thumped loudly as his mind thought about who was knocking.
He took in a deep breath and calmed his thoughts before opening his mouth, "enter!" however, his heart continued to race, especially thinking about what happened a few days ago.
'I was too …. Alas!' he inwardly chided himself as the door opened and a familiar person entered.
Looking at the younger man walking confidently into his office, Simon was filled with mixed emotions. He felt like the heavens were mocking him. Otherwise, why would ...?
He closed his eyes as he tried to push away all the entangled thoughts that had been haunting him for days.
