Damien's pov:
I stepped out of the elevator and walked straight to her office. However, I met Elijah on my way.
"Oh, hi." He said when he noticed me.
"Hi," I replied.
"Came to see Savannah?" He asked and I nodded.
"I just need to hand her this files," I said and he smirked.
"Alright," he said and I walked passed him.
"Oh, don't forget that these rooms are not soundproof." He said behind me and I chuckled when I realised what he was saying. Was that his way to say that he approved that I go out with his sister?
"I'll keep that in mind," I said not looking back. I reached her office and knocked. I heard a 'come in' and I walked in.
She was writing something quickly and didn't look up yet.
"Did you get it?" She asked, still focus on her work.
"I did." Her head snapped up when she recognised my voice.
"You did?" She asked, wide-eyed.
I walked to her table and put the file in front of her. She grabbed it and went through all the pages.
"How did you get that?" She asked shocked.
"I have my ways." I shrugged taking a seat in front of her.
"Well, that's awesome." She smiled.
"You know what would be more awesome?" I asked looking at her.
"What?" She asked confused.
"Dinner together?" I shrugged. I watched as her confused expression changed when she realised what I said.
"Oh,"
"So?," I asked.
"It's only 5:30 pm and I have a file to finish." She said and I shrugged.
"I'll wait," I said and she looked unsure.
"It might take longer." She added.

"I'll wait," I said again and she sighed.
"Well then, if you want..." she trailed off and I nodded. I walked to the couches in the room and sat down. From where I was, I could see her clearly. She returned back to the file and I took my phone out.
I glanced up and found myself staring at her. She looked so concentrated that she wasn't bothered by the fact that someone was staring at her.
----
It's already 6:45 pm and I was still in her office. I read my emails to kill some times.
"Alright, I'm done." She sighed leaning in her seat.
"Tired?" I asked and she looked my way.
"A little bit and I'm sorry you had to wait so long." She apologized and I shake my head no.
"No, it's okay. We can leave now." I said and she nodded.
The door opened and Elijah walked in. He noticed me and raised an eyebrow. He then looked at Savannah.
"So are you coming home with me?" Elijah asked Savannah and she shakes her head no.
"We are going out for dinner." She said and Elijah smirked.
"Alright, don't forget what I've told you too." He said before leaving the office.
"What did he tell you?" Savannah asked confused.
"Nothing important. Let's go." I said standing up. I put my phone back in my pocket and waited for her. She grabbed her bag and turn off the lights. We both made our way to the elevator and went to the ground floor.
-----
I parked the car and we stepped out. We walked inside and a lady attended us. She showed us our table and handed the menu to us.
"How's your arm?" She asked and I looked up from the menu.

"It's fine," I said, not giving many details. I don't want her to ask me where I got that wound. I can't tell her about the Mafia stuff yet.
"H-how did you even got hurt there?" She asked curiously.
"You are too curious." I chuckled, not replying to her questions. I guess she noticed that I didn't want to talk about it since she looked down at the menu.
"What are you going to order?" She asked and I looked down.
"I don't know," I replied looking at the food's option.
After a few minutes, we both decided what we wanted to eat. We ordered and they served us two glass of water while we wait.
"I'll be out of town for a few days," I said, gaining her attention.
"Oh, where are you going?" She asked, leaning her elbow on the table.
"I have some business that I need to complete, I don't know exactly how many days I'll be there," I explained and she nodded.
Crawford and I need to go to a Mafia meeting. We usually go every 2 months to keep the other Mafia leaders updated on our activities. I don't usually say many things because not all of them are happy about changes. Some leaders envy others when they can't reach a certain level of respect. Like me.
Many of the leaders show off their power when we go there, however, I just sit down and let them do whatever they want. But if they hurt anyone from my family or anyone that I care about, then it can be really messy.
"That's alright, everything is going smoothly. I hope we don't have any problems." She said and I nodded.
"If anything happens, you can call me anytime. I'll make my best to try to solve it." I stared firmly.
"When are you leaving?" She asked, reaching out to take her glass of water.
"Tomorrow morning," I said and she nodded. She took a sip from her water and put the glass on the table. Suddenly music started to play and we watched as some couples went to the middle. They all started to slow dance while a lady was playing her violin.
I glanced at Savannah and she was smiling looking at the couples dancing. I never danced since I join this Mafia world. It doesn't really go with my cold and heartless look. People wouldn't fear me if I do these kinds of things but I don't mind changing that for her.
"Will you have this dance with me?" I asked and she looked at me. I put my hand forward and she put her hand on mine. The fact that she didn't hesitate to do it, shows how she wanted to dance.
I pulled her in the middle and put my arm around her waist. Her arm went on my shoulder as I held her other hand in mine. We swing to the music, the smile never leaving her face.
And we both danced until they served our food.

Sanguine
The Coles are probably the definition of a small dysfunctional family, even if they weren’t the worst in existence; they would probably be lauded as an example of the term. The Coles were a small family though. The father, Oliver Cole, was an asshole ex-football jock who bounced around in small paying jobs after wasting most of his life drinking, drugging and whoring. The daughter, Stacy Cole, was smart, but had many issues including anger, trouble with authority, and occasional suicidal thoughts, and was kicked out of many a school for disruptive behaviour. The son, Mike Cole, was innocent, and tried his best to be kind to anyone and everyone, however his own speech impediment, and slow nature only aided people to bully and belittle him, including his own father. The Coles were indeed a dysfunctional family. At least they were, until they got to the small town near the border between the United States and Canada, Sanguine. Welcome to Sanguine. You will stay. With the exception of the first chapter, each chapter only follows one character. The first chapter is the only chapter in which I will include 'Sides' where it follows a different character. This is a short Lovecraftian story, it won't go above seventeen chapters. Note: the book cover is my first attempt, it might not even remain like it is, I was just tired of seeing the standard 'no cover' thing on it.
