couldn't settle his mind enough to figure it out.

"Joey, you're being way too polite," Flora said with a cool demeanor, her voice low enough that it was tough to grasp her real emotions. Joey felt an odd sense of déjà vu, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why her voice seemed familiar. With everything going on, he "You know me, ma'am?" he asked, surprised that Flora had called him by name.
