Alex ate the fruits prepared by the butler as he checked his email in the study. He was still wearing his pajamas while sipping his coffee.
The sliced fruit tasted ten times better than usual because Eve was the one who told the butler to prepare it for him.
'It'd taste a hundred times better if she's the one who cuts it for me, just like before,' Alex thought. 'For the twenty-nine years I've lived, those five years we were together were truly the highlight of my life. Everything was so beautiful that I thought I was slumbering and falling into a midsummer daydream for five years straight.'
Alex stared at the sliced fruits and recalled how Eve would sometimes get so caught up with work that her cuts weren't even, or she would just cut the apple in half and leave the half for Alex before leaving.
Sometimes, the coffee that she brewed for both of them was a bit too bitter for Alex's taste, but he still drank it with relish.
