Chapter 2
Chapter Text
The child looks like an angel: small, a tiny face, curly blond hair.
But his eyes are dark with rage.
A demon under the guise of an angel.
"You said you were dying to see me ...Liar ! ", he snaps, " if you wanted so much to meet me, you wouldn't be late !"
Jane bites her lips. What a great initial contact !
She kneels down for her to be at the same height and looks at him straight in the eyes.
"I didn't lie, I swear it. Can you forgive me ? "
He crosses his arms and says suspiciously.
"Don't disappoint me again."
She flashes him a confident smile. Try again.
"Hello, I'm Jane. Nice to meet you."
She extends her hand.
He hesitates and then shakes hers.
"I'm Luke", he whispers reluctantly.
She forces herself to be cheerful.
"Lovely name ! Let's go then."
He stays still and frowns.
"What do you have organized for today ?"
"First, lunch for us to get to know each other better", Jane explains, "and then I will show you my laboratory."
"Not terrible", he sighs, "quite boring."
The astrophysicist feels discouraged by his negative attitude. She didn't think it would be so difficult to deal with a child.
"Hey, stop dreaming and hurry up", Luke shouts, " we have already lost so much time !"
He looks at her sardonically.
"If you had been on time ..."
Jane rolls her eyes .
This boy will be the end of her.
