Chapter 269

After dinner, Cordy and Zoe sat on the couch in the living room, eating fruit and drinking coffee as they watched TV.

As Zoe was in the entertainment industry, it was easy to make her laugh. Simply watching a variety show was enough to get her rolling around in laughter.

Life seemed much happier when you were with someone who loved to laugh.
