A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1453

Right after he did, Cordy sent a direct message to Zoe: [Can you calm down and see what Quinn has to say first? Sam worked hard for this surprise. Don't ruin it for him.]

Zoe promptly replied: [Okay, okay. I won't talk.]

Back in the group chat, Quinn typed: [You knew, Zoe?]

Zoe replied: [Knew what? No idea.]

Quinn then responded: [Then what was that supposed to mean?]

Zoe promptly thought of something. [I mean, Sam did change. He used to goof off, and now he's doing so well at work! Jay's been praising him from time to time just to mess with Bob, since Bob's the one who's done nothing of note yet.]

She went on at length just to change the subject and cover up her blunder.

Still, Quinn replied: [I don't mean at work, although he's improved a lot on that front. I'm talking about his personal life.]

Zoe responded: [Personal life? Isn't it going well? You two are doing fine now, no?]

Quinn continued: [I might just be imagining it.]

Zoe frowned. [Elaborate?]

Quinn paused in hesitation for several seconds before typing: [Sam and I almost did it the night before Cordy returned. But we didn't expect my period to come.]

Zoe replied: [And?]

Quinn then typed: [Obviously, we didn't do it. But I could tell that he really wanted to do it so much he could blow up.]

Zoe then responded: [No need to go into that much detail, sister. Continue.]

Quinn continued: [But it's been days, and my period is already over.]

This time, Cordy sent a text before Zoe could. [Maybe he's been really busy? Men can have performance issues, especially when they're tired.]
