"Well, well, well, I could not have chosen a better day to pay you a visit." Phil said the moment Theodore was gone, grinning at her.
Her cheeks flamed instantly and she waved a hand in the air to dismiss his comment.
"Stop saying such things."
His eyes danced as he settled down.
"So what did the two of you talk about?" Everetta asked as she settled down on the same long couch beside him.
"Well," Phillip took out the metal flask inside his coat, poured a little bit into his tea, turned it with the teaspoon and took a sip. "As much as I despise your husband, there is one thing I respect about him."
Everetta scooted closer, placing her chin on her palm as she looked at him. "And what is that?"
"He is calm about everything. Even when he wanted to throw me out a few minutes ago, he said it casually."
Calm about everything…
That much was true… except the time she had threatened to leave him.
"Enough about me and your husband's small talk. Tell me why your face is glowing."
