Come the next day, the sun was just right.
I was in a good mood now that I had found out the truth. I bumped into Theo and Townsend, who had just returned from their run when I came downstairs. This time I was no longer angry and greeted them, "You guys are done with your run. Would you like to take a bath first or have breakfast first?"
"I'll go take a shower first." After Theo said that, he went upstairs and back to the room.
My gaze fell upon Townsend. "What about you?"
His scrutinizing gaze roamed over me. Townsend looked completely on guard. "Did you take the wrong meds today?"
"What do you mean?"
"Aren't you angry?" Townsend asked me, tilting his head. He was obviously confused by my reaction.
I chuckled as I shook my head. "Why should I be angry?"
Townsend circled me. Touching his chin, he said, "It's only been one short day. How could you have changed? You were still angry when you saw us yesterday. What, are you not jealous now?"
"There’s no point getting jealous about you." I was all smiles, my tone light.
His probing gaze lingered on me still. He still looked confused.
"Alrighty, Theo is going to be done soon if you’re still going to just stand here. Aren’t you two going to the company together?" I urged him.
Townsend frowned. He was even more surprised when he heard what I said. “Strange, truly strange." Muttering, he went upstairs to take a shower.
Putting aside my prejudices, Townsend was a rather interesting individual. I smiled slowly and went into the kitchen to help Caroline with breakfast.
By the time they came down, breakfast was ready.
Townsend was taken aback when he saw me smiling at him. He sat down and moved closer to Theo. "What's wrong with your wife?"
