They walked to the little diner that Anna knew. it was quaint and friendly. But most of all it was warm. Anna chose their seat wisely.
Cade ordered waffles and bacon and a hot chocolate. He wanted the extra sweetness and it just felt right. It was cold and winter, and he was freezing. And it brought back memories -- of his childhood.
Anna asked about his job. He chuckled. "Did you know Nox was a philanthropist at heart? To go with his monster hunting." That was something Cade still wasn't really used to. Monsters were real. Not that he hadn't seen some with his own eyes, but Nox truly fought them. He'd nearly died to many of them. He was suffering now because of one such creature. He didn't understand it exactly but he understood that his brother wasn't himself. It was something everyone reassured him with. "He's starting a free clinic to go with his refugee sanctuary." Another thing he didn't really understand. "Second Chances Foundation and the Orphan Foundation are teaming up to pay their doctors and instructors. Nox, well Anastasia Vega, offered me a job as their pediatrician. And with her being the ex-daughter-in-law of Jivana they offered to help with research I was doing as well. So it's win-win."
