NovelEnglishBenny rose from the bed, finding himself alone in the room, yet the disheveled bed sheets served as a silent
reminder of the intimacy he shared with Flossie the previous night.
Benny's mind went blank for a moment as he sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought.
After a prolonged pause, he finally rose from the bed, making his way to the bathroom to wash away the
lingering traces of the night before.
Exiting the bedroom, he discovered Flossie having breakfast in the dining room.
She looked up briefly, inviting him to join her as if it were any other day.
Benny pursed his lips.
Observing her serene demeanor, a whirlwind of emotions stirred within him.
Wearing a mask of indifference, he pulled out the chair opposite her and took a seat, preparing to have
breakfast.

Throughout breakfast, he found himself glancing up repeatedly, only to discover Flossie quietly eating with her
head bowed, seemingly unaffected by the events of the previous night.
Was this a normal reaction?
Given Flossie’s fiery temperament, one might expect her to demand an explanation from him.
This uncharacteristic silence puzzled him.
Was her calm demeanor now suggesting that his memories were merely figments of a dream?
Breaking the silence, Benny began, “I apologize for last night.
I had too much to drink...”
“There's no need for apologies.
We're both adults here.
No need to regret what happened,” Flossie cut him off, her voice laced with detachment.
“Okay,” Benny responded, his voice equally detached as he returned to his meal.
Flossie remained silent until she finished her breakfast, not uttering another word.
Benny set down his utensils, rose from the table, and began to walk away.
Abruptly, he halted, turning back to face Flossie.
“Don’t forget to take pills.
Flossie’s hands trembled slightly.

After a moment of silence, she lifted her gaze to Benny's departing back and inquired, “Do you still think of
Evelyn?”

Benny halted in his tracks and pivoted to face her.
A flash of surprise crossed his eyes before his expression darkened considerably.
This was the first occasion Flossie had broached the subject of Evelyn in his presence.
Benny fixed his gaze on her for several seconds before responding icily, “That’s none of your concern.
Flossie was taken aback by his harshness.
With a forced smile, she revealed, “You uttered her nin your sleep last night.
Benny found her forced smile profoundly irksome.
He scowled and retorted sharply, “She’s my fiancee.
What's wrong with that?”
A sensation of profound hurt welled up in Flossie.
In a tone laced with self-derision, she posed, “So, after all this ttogether, | mean nothing to you?”
