Celeste glanced up from the book impatiently, but when she realized she had company, and not just any company but that of the one person who had been toying with her mind lately, she became flustered.
"Good day Mr Martino" she greeted in a honeydew voice which sounded strained despite the smile she plastered on her face.
Lorenzo lifted an eyebrow at her antics, it disturbed him honestly. Her new behavior and approach to him bore semblance to a robot than the actual woman he married...and since when did she start calling him formally.
'Since you returned' a little voice whispered in his head.
He had a feeling something happened in his absence, but both Natalie and Alfonso insist all was fine.
