Jasmine Yale was sitting in the office waiting for him.
She was always of passing enthusiasms in everything she did, but when it came to waiting for him, from childhood up to the present, she had always been without complaint.
It seemed she didn't expect any particular outcome; being together in each present moment was the best it could be.
She didn't even yearn to marry him; when the day came that he considered things through and no longer wanted her, she wouldn't say anything.
But as long as he still wanted her, she would wait for him.
With no complaints.
Jasmine Yale turned on the tablet he had tossed to her to play with and watched a video by herself.
After a short while, there was a knock at the door.
Jasmine saw from the monitor that it was Lilac Serval.
It had been a long time.
When she opened the door, Lilac Serval came in with a stack of files and placed them on Sylvan Cheney's desk.
