"Babe, please calm down," Xander gently reminded his wife. It wasn't the first time he had witnessed her anger when discussing Jude Withers. "Take a deep breath. We will accomplish that together in the future," he reassured her calmly.
"Mmm, thank you, Xander," she finally regained her composure after taking a deep breath.
The car fell silent once more as they went to Scarlett's house. The streets were bustling that night, causing their journey to stretch to 40 minutes instead of the usual 15 minutes of driving.
As they stepped inside the house, Scarlett swiftly guided Xander into a room, a sense of urgency in her voice. "Xander, I need to talk to you!"
Despite Xander's confusion about Scarlett's sudden need for privacy and the room they entered, he chose not to question her. With a nod, he followed her into the room with the enigmatic black door, a part of her house he had never ventured into before.
Ahem, please votes with power stones and Golden Tickets! Xoxo :-)
