Genevieve could tell Cooper wasn't in a good mood, so she stopped conversing with Armand and sat aside, quietly peeling the orange.

Armand sprayed the wounds on Cooper's face and asked, “Sally didn't appear?”

“She did.” Cooper recalled what Sally had said in the hospital's parking lot and was dispirited. “You came up with such a trashy idea. I shouldn't have listened to you.”
