After finishing his breakfast, Noah found himself unable to follow his usual routine of retreating immediately to the sanctuary of his bedroom.
Instead, he wandered into the massive sitting room and settled onto one of the plush sofas.
His mind was preoccupied with the events of the previous night, and he found himself constantly checking his phone for any breaking news regarding Kai's escape.

Even though there were no updates, he refused to put the device down. He didn't want to be the last person to know if the manhunt reached a conclusion.
While he scrolled, Noah found his attention drifting toward the sounds of the house. He kept straining his ears, listening for the distinctive rumble of Adam's car as it pulled into the long, winding driveway of the mansion.
