“That's good, then.” Natalie also forced a smile in response.

Perhaps because of what Natalie had said, Joyce's heartbeat inexplicably quickened when she saw Stanley, and her eyes were a little diffident. She did not dare to look at him, so she simply lowered her eyelids to avoid eye contact with him.

Stanley did not think much of her behavior, as she had been acting that way, with her eyes downcast, whenever she faced him the past few days.
