Worth The Wait Part9. Content Warning.
Rami reclined in his office chair, idly twirling a set of Baoding balls in his left hand. Things were finally falling into place for him at the department. He had held the position of lead detective for over a year now, forging connections with colleagues both clean and corrupt, who had shown him the ins and outs of playing the game. Playing dirty never deterred Rami; if anything, it emboldened him. His father, a man well-acquainted with bending the law, had once told him, “Sometimes you’ve got to play the hand you’re dealt. And sometimes, you keep a few extra cards for leverage.” It was a lesson he never forgot. There were moments when he longed to stop looking over his shoulder, but the power had a way of consuming him. Each passing day made him feel more… untouchable.

The ship made good speed. The waves were only small choppy crests that didn’t cause anyone to get seasick. The captain had called Anna and Paul in for lunch and asked them what they were going to do in Elyndor. Paul mentioned the flour that needed to be delivered. The captain had inquired about Anna, and Paul simply said that they were childhood friends traveling together to enjoy the time. The captain had shaken his head and said they seemed to be more than childhood friends. Anna blushed, and Paul shifted nervously in his seat. They looked at each other and smiled. Perhaps there was more between them?
