Brandon Crawford smiled slightly. "But it's all thanks to your care, isn't it?"
"The doctor and Eve deserve most of the credit. I can't claim it," Summer Thorne said as she cleared the dishes. "But since you're giving the credit to me, can I ask for a reward?"
"Name it," Brandon Crawford said with a smile.
"I want two days off," Summer Thorne said. "Weren't you always telling me to get out more? Your condition has been good these past few days, so I feel at ease. I'm going to take this opportunity."
Hearing the nature of this reward, Brandon Crawford covered his mouth and gave a soft cough. A moment later, a realization seemed to dawn on him. He looked at Summer Thorne and asked, "Are you trying to avoid someone?"
Summer Thorne countered, "Is there someone I need to avoid?"
Brandon Crawford couldn't help but sigh softly. "So you know everything?" he said.
Summer Thorne silently continued tidying up without answering.
