When Shane arrived in the afternoon, Natalie bade farewell to Joyce before getting into his car.

“In a good mood?” Shane asked gently.

Natalie turned to him and blinked in surprise. “You can tell?”

“It's obvious.”

Natalie smiled and opened the car window a crack. “Stanley's condition is improving, so yes, I'm in a pretty good mood.”

Upon hearing that, Shane scoffed and pursed his lips. “And you believe him?”

“Why not?” Natalie asked as she turned to face Shane. “He was out of control then and wasn't clear-headed. If he was, I believe he wouldn't have hurt anyone with a knife.”
