Morning.
Luke got up a bit later than usual.
With the case solved and no urgent work at the team, Luke could afford to be lazy and go in later.
Luke poured a cup of coffee and sat in the yard, enjoying the sunshine while sipping his coffee. Occasionally, someone would pass by, jogging or walking a dog.
Though most of them were Chinese, Luke didn't have much interaction with the neighbors. On one hand, he was busy, and on the other, he was renting the house and might move out any day.
Next door, a white man walked out of his house dragging a suitcase, greeting, "Good morning, Mr. Lee."
"Mr. Smith, are you going on a business trip?" Luke sized up the neighbor. Although he had moved in for a while, they hadn't had much interaction because the other was often away on business trips.
"I have some business to discuss in Hawaii and might spend Christmas there as well." Smith said while putting his luggage into the car trunk.
After a brief chat, Smith drove away in a gray Volvo.
