[Hope Haven]
The retirement center that Thomas stayed in was located in the outskirts of Azurhaven. However, its name and appearance made it seem more like a comfy resting place than a retirement center.
I carefully walked up to the entrance and knocked on the door.
Soon, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman, who was likely a caregiver, appeared. She looked at me and smiled. Just when I was about to smile back and introduce myself, she spoke.
"Hello there! You must be Lucas Voss, right?" she said with a welcoming tone.
I blinked in surprise. "Uh, yes. How did you know?"
The woman chuckled lightly. "We were expecting you. Jonathan informed us you'd be coming by. Please, come in."
I stepped inside, taking in the warm, homely atmosphere of the place. It certainly lived up to its name—**Hope Haven**. The walls were adorned with calming artwork, and the scent of fresh flowers filled the air.
