He turned, gave Flossie a brief glance, and said indifferently, “You’re back.”
He started to look away, then stopped, noticing the injury on her arm.
A frown creased his brow as he strode towards her, taking her arm firmly. “Didn’t you go to the show? Why are you hurt?”
Flossie shook her head, trying to free herself. “It’s nothing. Just bumped into a model and fell.”
His grip tightened. “Who?” he demanded, his brow furrowed.

Flossie struggled but couldn’t break free. “Jessica Gomez,” she admitted.
Benny frowned further.
Exhaustion ached through Flossie. “I’m tired. I need to rest.”
Seeing her fatigue, Benny released her arm.

A wince of pain crossed her face as she went to take off her dress.
She glanced at the gauze on her arm before continuing to undress.
Just then, she felt Benny’s hand at her shoulder.
“Let me help,” he said softly from behind.
With gentle care, Benny untied her dress and assisted her into her pajamas.

Flossie’s heart warmed at his attentiveness. “You’re so thoughtful, Benny. You treat me so well. No wonder my friends are all jealous.”
Benny smiled. “Don’t worry, I’ll always take good care of you.”
His words hung in the air, and a strange sense of peace settled over him.
Perhaps he did like Flossie. Having her near brought a sense of comfort.
“Alright, get some sleep,” Benny murmured, pulling her into a hug as they settled onto the bed.
He watched her breathing slow and steady until she drifted off to sleep.
Then, his gaze fell on the vibrating phone on the nightstand.
Tt was Edmund.
