"Really?" Christopher didn't think so. Sydney looked troubled, her mind occupied with many things that saddened her. "How's your mother-in-law?"

"She's doing well, just that she's advanced in years and her dementia is getting more severe," Sydney replied with a nod.

"What about your husband?"

Sydney stood stunned for a moment before answering, "I haven't seen him for a while. He's quite busy."

"Is that really the case, or do you just not want to see him?"

"Mr. Jackson," Sydney said, "let's not keep talking about me. Let's talk about you instead. How have you been recently?"

"I've been well," he replied. "Aside from being rather busy, it's been the same old. I sometimes think of you, wondering what you're doing. Are you still mad at me for what happened previously?"
