"Sonia was almost always in my bedroom with me, so it wasn't a big deal since I've been spending most of my time at her home," Lucy explained with a shrug, and Tom nodded in understanding.
"You are doing that deliberately, aren't you?" Lucy asked curiously as she looked into Tom's face.
"Doing what?" Tom asked innocently.
