Rachel took a deep breath and stared at William.

“Okay, I got it. You don’t need to explain so much. I know Ms. Judd’s situation is rather complex.” She shrugged and went on, “I was just making a casual remark. You don’t need to take it so seriously.”

William nodded. “Stay at home for the time being. Things are really messy out there, so you shouldn’t head out for now.”
