[Enoch mentioned he wants to pick up the kids today, asked if I'm okay with it.]
[Of course, you should say yes! What's there to hesitate about? Think about it, if Enoch steps in as the father, there's no way Harlan, that jerk, could mess with the kids anymore. Honey, I know you love those kids, but loving them means thinking about what's best for them. Enoch has the means to give them a better life, and besides, it means you won't have to keep hiding.]
[Oh, I'm just a bit torn.]
She feared making a hasty decision she might regret later.
Verena texted: [What's there to be torn about? You're just overthinking.]
[I'm just scared that if Enoch and I ever split, I won't be able to take the kids with me.]
[Why not think about the possibility that Enoch might fall head over heels for you and can't bear to leave you?]
[He's not that kind of guy.] Drusilla remembered the last time he propositioned her, it was all about... convenience. That thought alone made Drusilla's opinion of him filled with disdain.
Verena replied: [Who knows? You're charming, I doubt he can resist.]
[Let's drop it. Everything seems simpler when you put it that way.]
[That's because it is simple! You're just carrying too much baggage!]
...
Sitting on a bench, Drusilla was scrolling through Verena's messages, wondering if she was indeed overthinking.
"Drusilla." Just as she was pondering, she heard Serge's voice.
Looking up, she saw Serge standing there, dressed in a crisp white suit, smiling at her.
Drusilla quickly stood up, "Dr. Denton."
"Is Enoch around?"
"He is." Drusilla replied, "You can go in."
