So Reuben immediately went towards her and cupped her face in his hands before asking, "Babe, Did something happen in the office today? Why are your mood so dampened now?"
Veronica kept the glass on the kitchen slab and held Reuben's hand. She dragged him towards the living room and made him sit on the couch before she herself settled herself on his lap.
By the action of hers, Reuben clearly knew the fact that Veronica's mind was wandering around something. So he just placed his hand on her waist and pulled her more towards him before hugging her tightly.
Reuben started to caress her hair and asked, "What's running in your mind honey? If you don't tell me how could I solve your problems.."
Veronica tilted her head up to stare at him and said, "Its not a problem Bennie. It's just that I heard a familiar name today who was once my friend."
"What do you mean by it, Ica? Whose name have you heard?" Reuben asked.
