Elias returned to his desk and snubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray filled with cigarette butts.

Suddenly, he laughed self-deprecatingly.

What has gotten into you, Winters? You two have been divorced for four years. Why does it upset you so much that your ex-wife has gotten herself a boyfriend?

“Alright. I want to visit my brother at the cemetery tomorrow. You’ll go with me, won’t you? It’s been a while since you last visited him too.”

Elias knew Grace was deliberately reminding him not to forget his promise, and he massaged his forehead, saying. “I’ll pick you up tomorrow. Rest early.”

“Alright. You don’t stay up too late, either. Try and take a nap when you can.”
