    Brogan’s focus was entirely consumed by the piece of meat he was working on, his hands deftly slicing through the tender flesh. Without lifting his gaze from the task, he muttered, “Then go help find her. Ethan’ll be forever grateful.”


    “Hsssh…”


    Find her? The thought sent a wave of frustration through him. How on earth was he supposed to aplish that?


    Clone her?


    With an irritated huff, Alex snatched the knife from Brogan’s hand, his annoyance bubbling over. “Out of all of us, you’re the coldest. Our brother is falling apart, and you still think this is a joke?”


    Brogan paused for a moment, his expression unreadable, then he gestured towards the cutting board with a slight nod.


    “Then cook something good for him. I’ll go handle the emotional support.”


    Alex fell silent, the weight of Brogan’s words settling heavily on him.


    He watched Brogan stride out of the kitchen, his back straight and determined. Looking down at the knife in his own hand, Alex clenched his jaw, frustration morphing into resolve. “Fine. I’ll cook. Just a few dishes; how hard can it be?”


    With a loud thwack, he brought the knife down onto the cutting board, the sound echoing through the quiet kitchen.


    Meanwhile, in the living room, Brogan entered just as Alice finished voicing her thoughts.


    She and Ethan were seated at opposite ends of the room, the distance between them palpable. There wasn’t any overt tension, but the atmosphere felt strangely charged, as if something unsaid lingered in the air.


    “You’re back. Alex cooking?” Alice asked, her voiceced with skepticism.


    “Yep.”


    Brogan offered a teasing smile. “Don’t trust him?”


    “Don’t trust’ is putting it lightly,” Alice replied, rolling her eyes as she pulled out her phone, navigating to a food delivery app. “I’m just trying to avoid being poisoned.”


    Brogan chose not to respond, his gaze shifting to Ethan.


    Since Dawn’s disappearance, Ethan had undergone a significant transformation. The light in his eyes had dimmed, reced by a chilling detachment. It was as if an invisible barrier surrounded him, silently warning others to keep their distance.


    “Alice is right. Your original n wasn’t wed. Roxanne remains our only solid lead. If you truly wish to do something for Dawn, the best course of action is to pull yourself together and continue your search,” Brogan said, his tone steady and encouraging.


    Ethan’s dark eyes flickered momentarily, a hint of recognition passing through them, yet he remained silent.


    A brief exchange of nces passed between Brogan and Alice. Neither pushed further; they understood that Ethan likely had a strategy forming in his mind. There was no sense in reiterating what he already knew.


    Half an hourter, the kitchen door swung open with a dramatic whoosh, smoke billowing out like a warning signal. Alex emerged, wearing an apron and coughing uncontrobly, shouting, “Dinner’s ready!”


    Alice gasped, her eyes wide with disbelief.


    “What the hell? Were you trying to concoct a chemical weapon?”


    “Hey, what kind of attitude is that?” Alex protested, feigning offense.


    He reached out, attempting to ruffle her hair, but Alice ducked away, a smirk on her face. He didn’t take it to heart; in fact, he felt a swell of pride. “Come on, at least give me some credit. I went all out today. You’re about to witness the magic of Chef Alex.”


    Alice forced a couple of politeughs, her eyes darting toward the kitchen.


    Her takeout better arrive soon.


    When the food finally hit the table, the three of them settled down, each upying a side, staring in silence at the four unidentifiable dishesid out before them.


    Alex scratched his nose, uncertainty creeping into his demeanor. “Why are you just sitting there? Come on, eat! Sure, it doesn’t look amazing, but I promise it tastes great.”


    He had meticulously followed every online recipe to the letter. There was no way it could taste that bad.


    Alice swallowed hard, her apprehension palpable, and nudged Brogan.


    “You go first.”


    Brogan frowned, his brow furrowing. “Why me?”


    “Because you’re the one who told him to cook. You take full responsibility.”


    Brogan fell silent, contemting his predicament.


    Just as he raised his fork, the doorbell chimed, breaking the tension in the room. A collective sigh of relief escaped from everyone except Alex.


    Alice’s face lit up with a cheerful smile. “Alex, I didn’t know you’d actually attempt to cook, so I ordered takeout just in case. Fondue. I mean, it’d be a shame to let it go to waste, right? And fondue with wine? Perfectbo.”


    She practically skipped to the door, excitement radiating from her.


    Alex blinked in surprise. “So… we’re not eating this?”


    Brogan nodded thoughtfully. “Since you made it for Ethan, maybe we should save it for him. He can have it tomorrow.”


    Silence enveloped the room once more.


    The delivery guy set everything up, and with the array of wine on the table, the fondue began to steal the spotlight as the main course.


    “Alright, let’s dive in.”


    Alice pped her hands together, her enthusiasm infectious. “Tonight, we drink ’til we drop.”


    Getting drunk was easy, especially when one was burdened by unspoken worries. For people like them, alcohol felt like a balm, a fleeting escape from reality.


    By the end of the evening, empty bottles littered the table, remnants of their revelry.


    Alex had his arms draped around Brogan, mumbling a string of incoherent phrases, while Alice squinted, clearly feeling the effects of the alcohol.


    Ethan reclined into the corner of the couch, his limbs rxed, long legs casually resting against the edge of the coffee table.


    His gaze was hazy, a mist clouding his eyes, emotions hidden beneath the surface.


    The burn of liquor coursed down his throat, settling in his gut, numbing everything it touched.


    Truth be told, he and Dawn had not spent much time living in this house together, yet her presence lingered in every corner.


    That feeling was like a tight, suffocating and inescapable, wrapping around him, leaving him breathless.


    His jaw clenched, muscles in his face taut with unexpressed tension. He closed his eyes, seeking sce in the darkness behind his eyelids.


    Later that afternoon, the living room was enveloped in silence. Everyone had sumbed to a nap after their drinking escapade.


    Alice rubbed her eyes, her hand connecting with Alex’s arm as she jolted him awake. “Wake up!”


    “Huh…? What?” he mumbled, groggy.


    “He’s gone!”


    “Wait—shit… Ethan?!”


    Just as the three of them reached for their phones, Tony appeared in the doorway, a grin stered on his face. “Ms. Alice, the boss asked me to drive you guys home.”


    “Where is your boss?” she asked, suspicioncing her tone.


    “Ms. West had to stop by the office today. The boss went in for the project meeting.”


    The partnership between Stonewarden Group and the Jackson Group often required someone to attend the review meetings, and today was no exception.Conclusion
