Rachel didn't loiter around the balcony for too long. The cold wind blew across her face, sobering her up. She then turned around and left the balcony, and walked out of the room.
Upon her arrival downstairs, she saw Andy standing at the door and staring at something.
"Andy, what are you doing?" Rachel asked as she walked downstairs.
Upon hearing her voice, Andy composed himself and turned around at once. "Oh, Miss Bennet, you're up!"
Rachel nodded in response and then she looked behind him. The lights in the yard weren't on, and only stark darkness could be seen outside. From where she was standing, she couldn't see thing that was happening outside.
Even when she took a closer look, she still saw nothing.
It was then that she turned her attention back to Andy. "I just got up. I saw you standing at the door looking at something. What was it?"
"Nothing, Miss Bennet," answered Andy. He was stunned for a moment, and he immediately looked away. "Anyway, Miss Bennet, I'll go heat up the food for you. You took a long nap this afternoon. The food arrived soon after you fell asleep, but I didn't want to wake you."
For a moment, Rachel paused. "Okay," she said. She stared at his face for a while, and couldn't see anything suspicious. Thus, after a moment of pondering, she nodded.
Somehow, she felt like Andy was hiding something, but it didn't seem that way.
She thought that she was just overthinking it.
