Since the last time she drank the medicine in front of Jerry,Melody deliberately avoided him.Jerry noticed it but he didn’t take an action.
Old Mrs.Felton already noticed that something was wrong between them.For the past half a month,one went out early and came back late while the other went out late and came back early.It seemed to be a coincidence that they avoided each other.They were obviously a married couple,but they acted like strangers.
Mrs.Felton wanted to talk to them separately,but one said he was busy with work and the other one couldn't be seen at all,leaving Mrs.Felton no chance to start a conversation.
This evening,Melody finally had her newest project settled and was on her way back to get the contract when she ran into Jerry who was coming home from work.They bumped into each other,faced each other,awkwardly.
Melody took the lead in letting go and go up the stairs.
