"Why are you blushing so hard, Carol?"
"Huh!" Flustered with Erica's question, Caroline lightly cleared her throat. She had been so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even realize it when Erica returned.
"Who me? Why will I blush? What are you saying, Erica?" And she lightly rubbed the back of her neck with her palm out of embarrassment.
"If you say so!" Erica mocked her and settled on the chair next to her. "Where did your lover go?"
"Jeez, Erica! Cut it out, please."
"Ok... Ok. So where did he go?"
"I don't know. He just said he had something to do and left."
"Mmm… By the way, you should have seen how fowl Elora's face had turned when she came to know that Morpheous was staying here with you. I couldn't help but laugh." Erica giggled as she spoke and slowly sipped her coffee.
