Silence hung in the air as the night breeze blew past the two figures standing several meters apart.
Penny held her breath, instantly sobering up. She assessed Zoren, who was gazing down at the cat in his arms. He was still in a black dress shirt, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, suggesting he had come from an occasion.
'Didn't he meet Patricia today?' she wondered, pressing her lips together. 'Why is he here again? He isn't supposed to be here.'
The main point of letting Patricia into Zoren's life was to find out who sent her. But there was another reason Penny hadn't told Benjamin.
She didn't want Zoren to wait in this place every Thursday, especially with the weather expected to be bad in the coming weeks.
'Did he figure it out already? So soon?' she asked herself. 'That stupid woman… she can't even do a proper job.'
Meow.
