'Erica, your calm life is going to turn topsy-turvy' she told herself as she decided to go along with Steve's plan after thinking for long during her work hours.
If she can do something to help him then why not, is what she thought so she decided to act along with his lie but with some ground rules to protect her feelings.
Erica decided to announce her decision to Steve later after he wakes up from his sleep. She felt she was going crazy thinking about Steve and his weird plan, so she decided to distract herself by cooking some food.
Before that she went to her room to freshen up and after having a good hot shower she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for the two of them.
Erica decided to cook sauteed vegetables and red sauce pasta for dinner as they were Steve's favorites.
'Not sure if he still likes them' she wondered as during these ten years his choices must have had changed.
