It only confirmed Natalie's suspicions that Shane was acting differently around her.

With no clue of how or why it had happened, the woman felt lost.

Despite racking her brain to find a reason, Natalie still could not conclude what triggered the change in his behaviour. If anything, it only left her more puzzled than before.
