‘Monkey is better fit for you. Even Ox. Find out his birth year.’
‘Will do. So can you do up a tray of something?’
‘Of course,’ said Yun. ‘Something for harmony and relaxation.’
‘Perfect.’ Madeline could use some harmony and relaxation, what with her incompatible love life and all. She started across the high-gloss white marble floor, only to whirl back around with a new question. ‘What should I wear?’

Luke Bennett was a punctual man, discovered Madeline as the state-of-the-art security cameras showed him summoning the private lift to the apartment block’s foyer area at five minutes to seven that evening.
