Lumiere's POV
I never could've realised such a change could happen to one person after so long. I stared back at the gift package that was returned to me.
Esmeralda was a different woman than Cathy and that made me all the more curious to go closer.
Cathy was someone I wanted to protect but along the way, she proved to me that she could do that all by herself. She was also surrounded by help there.
I needed to be something more than a protector in her life. The knock on my door returned me to the case at hand.
Eagerly, I closed the files on my table. "Come in, Levine." I left my seat and drew out a chair for him.
He walked in, his posture straight for someone who reported limp for a while now.
Seeing the seat drawn out, he smiled briefly but it faded the moment he sat down. I returned to my seat. "I read your file but I also need to hear extra information from you."
