So Smart

Tyrone impatiently looked at his wristwatch. Lunch was already finished, but Raine had not returned yet. He was starting to wonder if Raine had already eaten lunch with Janus instead. 

'So what if she had lunch with him?'

He let out a sigh of frustration as he continued to silently scold himself for overthinking things.

"Daddy, you want some tea?" 

Turning his head, Tyrone smiled at little Aire, the little girl holding a cup of tea in her hands. He accepted the drink, and Aire sat beside him.

"You look so distracted," Aire commented as she stared out at the garden in front of the veranda where they were sitting. "A bit conflicted too," Aire continued, Tyrone not responding to her words.

Tyrone looked at the girl with a meticulous smile on his face as he asked, "You're not really the secretary of defense's granddaughter, aren't you?"

Aire's face paled, and she blinked several times in seeming shock.
