Though he assumed that call may only come if something tragic happened to her father. Hopefully, for her sake, that wouldn't happen.
"Take care of yourself." He had no doubt she would.
It was good to hear from her actually, and hearing her voice being more cheerful was nice, too.
He seemed to be a magnet for damaged women, but he always tried to help. "Same to you. But Idalia." He paused for a moment as if he may regret what he was about to say. "If you-
That was what his wife wanted. She wanted a fresh start without memories of the past, and this island helped.
"Still retired.."There was less questioning lilt and more firm confirmation in his voice. If he got involved again, then there was no hiding it from his wife this time.
My dome tilted, minor traces of surprise registering on my face
“Oh wow I hadn't known you relocated, that's awesome!” my tone was excited but not loud.
“Still retired?” heh, maybe that'd throw him off, i liked his questioning tones.
"Not really a problem when we've relocated out here. I've got an arrangement to get supplies out to us periodically." She had also given him quite a bit of money, so it wasn't hard to make it work.
Worse case, he could always let his wife off the 'leash' for a merc job.
My smile grew, genuinely pleased to know they we're getting the best out of the deal.
“Honestly, that's wonderful to hear. I know it can be a decent boat or plane ride to and from the mainland, but you seem otherwise umbothered by that. I was a bit worried about that. ”
He took in the question, and his voice gave into the somewhat relaxed intention the conversation seemed to be.
"We are enjoying it very much, thank you. There isn't anything we need. Just have been enjoying the weather and the ocean."
Pleasure, the word seemed off, like my call would be anything but civil.
“I had meant to call a long while ago, but as you know life can get ahead of you sometimes. I wanted to make sure you and your wife we're enjoying the island, and if you might need anything. ”
He knew it was her.
"Idalia...what do I owe the pleasure?" His words were a bit suspicious. Though he didn't exactly come from a background that trusted the Bratva to begin with. So, the fact that she was calling on him again made him suspicious.
⥓Russian you helped a while back.”
This past year I had fully fell into my role as the next heir of the Bratva. The child he knew shackled by her demons was no more thanks to what he had helped her accomplish.
He hadn't expected to ever see that number pop up on his phone again. Tempted, he picked up the device to decide to decline the call.
But as he looked at the screen longer, he gave into pressing the green button. "Hello..." Curiousity was too much for him, and he needed to-
My finger hovers over @500Fights number. I hadn't spoken with him since that day he aided me in my vengeance.
I knew him and his wife used the island, but I hadn't checked in for almost a year and honeslty I missed the old man.
—I press the call icon. Waiting.
I ain’t gotta be the bad guy. But damn, I wear it well.

@BenignRevenant He laughed and closed his eyes with her splashing. "You said you wanted to cool off, baby."
