“Nothing major, just… we had a bit of a spat.”
Mark was familiar with their dynamics.
Over the years, Waylen and Rena maintained a stable relationship, marred only by Waylen’s bouts of possessiveness. Despite Rena scaling back her social interactions, any hint of her mingling with the opposite sex would set Waylen’s jealousy simmering for days on end.
The situation was complex, neither entirely positive nor negative.
Naturally, Rena wouldn’t head home and voice her grievances.
Waylen’s possessive nature was well-known in their circle, often fueling gossip.

“He sent you to check on me, didn’t he?”
Mark offered no denial.
“It’s nothing major,” Rena reassured softly.

It wasn’t Mark’s place to pry into their relationship.

Perched on a barstool, Rena faced a vast pane of French glass, showcasing more than half of Duefron’s nighttime skyline. Central to the view was Exceed Group’s illuminated tower, blazing like a beacon.
Tears glossing her eyes, Rena’s smile was wistful.
