Who: Nox and Belle
When: Sunday night
Where: their apartment
What: Nox is welcomed home by an unpleasant surprise
Nox was very much looking forward to a night in with his fiancee. The last week had been stressful. He and Ana still weren't on normal terms. They were both acting overly professional around one another, really only talking when it was required, the rest of the time they avoided conversation and close physical proximity. It was all so awkward, and he could tell she still wanted space, so he granted it.
Having needed to get some paperwork done, and finding it easier to do so in his office, Nox spent much of the afternoon and evening away from the apartment. Eventually, he grew tired of work and decided play was far better. Nox expected to be greeted by his enchanting fiancee when he finally made his way back to his staff building, but he didn't expect that greeting to take place in hallways. Her picture was everywhere, and what was worse, was the man with her in the pictures. Belle knew Saul, the man who had made Nox's trip to New York City absolutely dreadful. But she didn't just know him, it seemed she was intimate with him.
Trying to avoid feelings of jealousy or judgment, because he didn't know anything about the circumstances surrounding those photos, he made a somewhat slow trek to their apartment. The shadow demon was quiet as he opened the door and set down his keys and messenger bag beside it. He'd asked Belle to wait up for him, but now he was half hoping she hadn't. He wasn't sure he wanted to know the story behind the pictures just yet, but the more time he had to make up scenarios in his head, the more upset he became. Surely he'd feel better when she clarified things.
