He ruffled her hair affectionately, giving her a tender smile.

After hailing a cab for her, he turned and hurried across the square.

They were none other than Matthew and Melanie.

“Don’t be.” I struggled to manage the awkwardness I felt.

I thought Matthew and Johnson had gone out to dine with clients, but I was wrong.

Only Johnson was doing that.

The atmosphere turned heavy.
