Flossie left the letter by his computer and was about to leave the room when her hand brushed the mouse, lighting up the screen.
Caught off guard, she paused, eyeing the screen’s contents.
It was all news about Matthew. She scrolled through, seeing nothing but news about him.
Flossie’s brows knitted in confusion.

Flossie paused, casting her eyes down as she pondered for a brief moment. Then, lifting her gaze to meet Benny’s, she responded, “Okay, I’ll trust you for now.”
She glanced at the clock, and it was already past midnight. “Have you eaten yet? How about a late-night snack? I can cook something up for you.”
With that, she started to move around the desk, heading towards the door.
