CHAPTER: 6

T

he next morning when Angela woke up, David was already up. But she couldn't hear any rattling of utensils in the kitchen, which meant David was caught up elsewhere. She left the space and walked outside the room. David was sitting on the patio, in front of the round coal fireplace. The snow had just fallen, but the fire made the temperature bearable. She went ahead and sat next to him and then rested her head on his shoulder.

"Good morning, love," David said and kissed her forehead. The morning was quiet and silent. You could hear a pin drop from miles away. And in that silence of the morning, David and Angela planned how they'd move to Europe and live on an obscure farm away from the hustle and bustle of the city. But not for the rest of their lives, or forever, but any time they would get a chance. Even after this was over, Angela still wanted to go forth with her lawyer duties, and David had his whole work-life setup here.

David said no word to anyone and asked a few people on his team to look at real estate in Vienna or even Champagne, the less polished cities of Italy.

"You know I have to go lodge a case against you today? And ask for the proceedings to be accelerated? And they probably give a very prolonged interview to some press and media members who will have a field trip today," Angela said out loud. She wanted to bite her own tongue saying that. Even if it was planned out and fake, it made her stomach turn into knots that she was making David go to trial.

"Well, you are not lodging a fresh case. You are just reviving an old one. One which would've gone to trial anyway. It's better to get ahead of it. Right?" David said.

"Yeah, but I just want to apologize in advance because this has the potential to get very messy. There will be extremely negative headlines, name-calling, and news reporters dragging your name through the mud and whatnot. So just don't let that all get to your head? Alright? Stay strong and persist. Don't give in to the noise.

Stay away from news channels as much as you want to. We can't let this affect your brain. If it starts to affect you, we stop. I don't want to lose you in the process of saving you. Do you get me? Stay firm in your stance. Don't let the background noise get to your head. You can't do anything rash. Actually, why am I even explaining this to you? You've had media training for years now!" Angela scoffed and then laughed; she then continued saying again, "Also, when I'm in court, I put a really mean game face on. I am brutal, and I'm very headstrong. So, if I'm ever slightly mean to you, please don't take it personally. Don't be mad at me, is what I mean to say," Angela concluded.

"Yep, I was just about to say that.
