There were many things that Tristan would have loved to be talking about with his wife, but among that great list of topics, his cousin and Madam Mo did not even show up. But unfortunately for both of them, that was exactly what they were talking about in that current moment. Saying the names Zachariah and Madam Mo felt wrong on Tristan's tongue.

There was actually one thing that he could think of that would bring the likes of Zachariah and that wretched loan shark together. And that was hatred. Those two were some of the most hate-filled people that Tristan knew.
