Observing Naomi’s retreating figure, Brendan’s countenance gradually darkened.

He was keenly aware that this wasn’t the Naomi he was familiar with and that something was weighing on her mind. An underlying tension lingered beneath her smiles and warmth.

Setting aside the book he held, Brendan scrutinized her and inquired, “So, you’re not in the mood to do it today?”
