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.”
