What did he mean? What were they doing? And how were they naked?
She looked at him questioningly. It couldn't be what she thought he meant. Who was at the door?
His eyes looked to the side and he continued to listen. Could he hear all the way outside and know who it was? Then it meant whoever was outside could also hear them all the way in. Why would he tell her to be quiet otherwise?
"Who?" She mouthed, without making a sound.
"Zoila. Saul." He mouthed back just when another knock came. Ugh.
"Malachi behave!" She told him now louder.
He was surprised for a moment but was quick to play along. "Why? Are not enjoying my misbehavior?"
Her face burned. "No…"
"Your body says something else."
Huh? Now her cheeks were in flames. She grasped the spoon harder. This kind of talking wasn't for her. Her mind scrolled through the pages of the erotic books she had read.
