Chapter 43 — Cryptic Words

• The evening sun cast long shadows as Aeron approached Myra's house. His footsteps echoed in the quiet street as he reached the front door.
• He stood for a while, hesitating. Myra and him had been having too many arguments of late and it was making him feel bad. With a deep breath, he turned the handle and pushed the door open, revealing the dimly lit interior.
• As Aeron stepped into the house, he immediately spotted Augustine sprawled out on the couch, fast asleep. A surge of anger tightened his jaw, and he shot a disapproving look at the slumbering figure. The tension in the room escalated when Myra emerged from the kitchen, a concerned expression on her face.
