... to take three days off this week. The large screen on his desk shows a preliminary, animated 3D sketch of a multi-domed structure.
The design is absolutely magnificent—another Jules and Mathieu creation. The smaller screens surrounding the large, curved one show preliminary plans for the inside. They're only suggestions. The actual planning will be decided by the Inuit Council of Kuujjuaq. The building is being designed with the future in mind; other sections can be easily added on later.
Steve's finished with all the nitty-gritty work. He decides it's near enough to lunch time to head over to Rosa's. He hasn't seen her in the last few days, and he wants to surprise her. Karl smiles at his friend and tells him to take his time. They'll all be busy with the visitors in the afternoon.

Rosa's restaurant, December 16, 11:15 a.m.
It's easier to walk through Old Montréal than to use a car — or worse, a pickup. The snowbanks from the big storm over a week ago have not been cleared yet. Steve, his heart thumping hard, tries the front door. It's locked. He goes around, as Rosa told him to do. The side door gives access to the stairs going up and to the back of the restaurant through another door to the right just inside. He slowly makes his way towards the kitchen; he wants to surprise Rosa. Then he hears voices— one of them is Rosa's.
"Mmmm, deeper, Phil."
Then comes another, and Steve recognizes it as the chef's — who is not named Phil.

They're too busy to notice the large man by the entrance to the pantry. He retreats slowly and gets out, flabbergasted. The image haunts him for a little while as he walks aimlessly through the streets of Old Montréal.
He stops at a café and gets a beer and a burger. He thought that he and Rosa had something going on. Judging by what he just saw, she didn't think so — and that's not the only reason it shocked him. He never would have thought she'd do something like that. He eats his burger, pays for the meal, and returns to the office.
It's not even noon when he gets to the office. Steve enters from the garage entrance and goes to his locker.
"Ah! Steve!" Karl says, with a huge smile on his face. "There you are."
"Yup, I'm here."
Steve's dry reply comes as a surprise to Karl. "Is there a problem, Steve?" Karl asks, suddenly concerned.
"No, no. Sorry, it just came out that way. Is there anything you need me for?" He tries to sound more cheerful.
"Yup. I do. The presentation went so well, and the clients were so impressed by Jules' and Mat's work, that they decided to go with us for their project right there and then."
"Wow! That's fantastic. Them geniuses deliver again, hey!" Steve's mood improves a thousandfold. He's thinking of Chloé, who will ...
