Suzy caught Leonard's look immediately. She knew exactly what he meant.
After a brief pause, she rose and walked over to Adam. He noticed her approach and asked quietly, "What is it?"
She cleared her throat softly before explaining her purpose. She told him she hoped he could help her purchase a large quantity of medicine.
Adam listened without interrupting. He didn't ask why she needed so much. After a brief silence, he simply asked, "How much do you need?"
Suzy sent him the spreadsheet she had prepared.
He glanced at it once—just once—then said calmly, "That's fine."
The ease of his answer startled her.
Before she could stop herself, she reached out and grabbed his wrist.
"Really? Can you get that much? Thank you—thank you so much!"
Her excitement spilled over uncontrollably. Adam let her hold on, his expression still composed and unreadable.
Only after a moment did Suzy regain her senses.
She followed his gaze and realized he was looking at the hand gripping his wrist.
