In almost 10 minutes, Isa arrived at Mr. Bane's loft. After she knocked on the door three times, someone open it.

Mr. Bane - You must be Isa. Come in.

Isa - I can't stay. Where is Alec?

Mr. Bane - He is inside. We talk and have a cup of coffee. Come in. Nothing is gonna happen and I heard that you help Alexander with his work.

Isa - I know. Uhm... Yeah, a little.

Mr. Bane - Then come in.

Isa nodded and follow the man inside.

Alec - Are you here?*he asked*

Isa - Yes. I am sorry for being late.

Mr. Bane - Don't say that. Coffee?

Isa - Uhm...sure, Mr. Bane.*she answered smiling*.

Mr. Bane - Call me Asmodeus. *he said smiling before going into the kitchen*

Isa - Wow... This house is...why he wants to change it???*she asked looking around*

Alec - He said that after his son died...*but he stopped*

Isa - Oh... That's sad... And how about the project????

Alec - He loves it. Do you know what is weird???

Isa - Hmmm... What???

Alec - Everything feels so...familiar. I would like to tell him not to change anything. 

Isa - Have you been here?

Alec - No. It's...whatever.

After a few minutes, Asmodeus came back.

Asmodeus - How long have you been working with Alexander?

Alec/Isa - Just Alec. *they both said at the same time and laughed*

Asmodeus - I am sorry for asking but, are you two...together?

Isa - What?! With this guy? No!

Alec - I am...*but he stopped*.

Asmodeus - Do you have a boyfriend? *he asked with a gentle voice and Alec nodded*.

He didn't call him gay, and that sounds nice for Isa.

Asmodeus - I am sorry for being...

Alec - It's okay.

Isa - So... About your son.

Alec - Isa...

Asmodeus - It's okay. He died in a...war, years ago. I promised him to take care of his house. All that remains here are their memories. *he said looking around*.

Isa - Their...memories?*she asked a little confused*

Asmodeus - He was married... With a man. *he said looking at Alec.*. And they died together... But the rest of this story, another time.

Isa - Oh, that sounds... I am sorry...

Asmodeus - It's okay, sweetheart. Now let's talk about our project, Alec.

Two hours later:

Alec - Okay then. It will be great.

Asmodeus - I know. Thank you for coming here.

Alec - Thank you, for calling me.

Asmodeus - I hope I will see you again.

Alec - Why not? It was a pleasure to meet you. Now we are leaving.
