Leslie wanted to know more but, Calix said Vernon simply told him to visit his home later. Knowing there was not much information, they decided to keep this until meeting Vernon.
Still hugging Leslie, Calix whispered into her ear, "I'll continue with my work. Don't let it bother you, sweetheart."
Calix understood full well how Leslie could be such a worrywart sometimes. She had improved recently. Still, he couldn't help but remind her.
Nodding slightly, Leslie patted Calix's back before pulling away from him. Her smiley eyes noticed the hint of concern on her beloved's face.
"He isn't worth ruining my mood," Leslie chuckled, trying to reassure Calix, "Go now, honey. I'll just watch TV now."
"Okay."
Calix dropped a light kiss on Leslie's forehead before walking out of the lounge. She watched him going with a helpless smile.
Perhaps, Vernon had good news to share with them.
