UTOPIA HIGH

Unveiling Shadows

In Morgan's room, as she stared out the window at George's former house, a spark of inspiration ignited. After a series of calls and agreements, she finally secured the house, deciding to rent it with the hope that George might consider moving back someday.

Meanwhile, in another part of town, Rehina and Reon found themselves in the kitchen, surrounded by pots, pans, and laughter. As they embarked on their cooking adventure, the aroma of spices filled the air.

Rehina, chopping vegetables with enthusiasm, teased, "Reon, I hope your cooking skills are as good as your charm."

Reon, stirring a pot with a mock serious expression, replied, "Well, you're about to find out. Get ready for a culinary masterpiece."

Their banter continued as they navigated the kitchen, each playfully adding their own touch to the dish. Amidst the sizzling sounds and shared laughter, Rehina playfully splashed a bit of flour on Reon, causing both of them to burst into laughter.

Reon, wiping the flour off his face, grinned, "Well, I guess we've upgraded from cooking to a flour fight. The joys of culinary adventures."

Rehina, holding a spoon like a weapon, laughed, "Watch out, chef. This kitchen is now a battlefield."

As they continued to enjoy their time together, As they all sat around the table, ready to enjoy the meal,a knock was heard at the door both feeling enterrupted Reon stands and heads at the door as the door completly open there stood Alexandre with a smirk on his face "May i?"he said as he excused himself inside the house,Rehina after seeing it was Alex her face was in shock as he moved to the dining table.Reon also joining them.Alexandre, with a gentle smile, interrupted the anticipation. "Before we indulge in this feast, how about a moment of gratitude? Rehina, Reon, would you mind if I led a prayer?"

Reon and Rehina exchanged glances, nodding in agreement. Alexandre then led a heartfelt prayer, expressing gratitude for the food, the company, and the shared moments.

"Now, let's feast," he declared, and they all began to enjoy the meal. As they ate, Reon, noticing Alexandre's curious glances around the house, decided to initiate a conversation.

"Alexandre, you seem quite intrigued by the place. What brings you here? Nostalgia, perhaps?" Reon asked, trying to understand the motive behind his unexpected visit.

Alexandre, sipping his drink, replied, "curiosity. I've heard a lot about your culinary skills and Rehina's warm hospitality. Couldn't resist experiencing it for myself."

Rehina, sensing the tension, added, "Well, you're here now. Enjoy the meal and the company."

As the conversation continued, Alexandre's subtle glances at the house did not go unnoticed. Reon, addressing the unspoken observation, asked, "Something catching your eye, Alexandre?"

Alexandre, with a charming smile, replied, "Just admiring the simplicity. It's refreshing. You don't often see such charm in houses of the Beaumonts."

Rehina, catching the underlying tone, maintained her composure, "Well, simplicity has its own elegance. I like to keep things down-to-earth."

The unexpected gathering unfolded with each bite, creating a unique symphony of tastes, stories, and the unspoken dynamics between them.

As the meal progressed, Alexandre, with a subtle persistence, began asking Rehina intriguing questions, subtly pushing her to reveal more about herself. Rehina, sensing the underlying motives, tried to navigate the inquiries with evasive answers.

Alexandre, not easily deterred, leaned in and asked, "Rehina, what's the one thing about you that you've never shared? The real you, beyond the surface."
