I Love You, Miss Genius

"Tell me about it, Mr. Ivor." Toby played along. "I understand Ms. Bonnie's good intentions, too, so I plan to complete my thesis before participating in her research. I don't want to botch my work and her research."

"Mhm," Ivor faintly responded before he thought of something and asked, "Does that mean even you don't know if Bonnie's at the research institute?"

Toby thought he had bluffed his way through. However, his heart leaped to his throat when he heard Ivor's question.

"Since Ms. Bonnie hasn't answered your calls, she must be focused on her research. Where else would she be, considering her character?" Then, Toby sprung a question on Ivor, "That said, you also asked us about her whereabouts last time, right?

"Do you think she'd be up to no good because she's in Pyralis, and you're on an overseas work trip? Rest assured, Ms. Bonnie would never do something like that."

Ivor was stumped. After some thought, he told Toby why he called, "I'm more worried about her safety than unfaithfulness. After all, Bonnie has put herself in danger countless times and kept them from me. I can't help but worry about her, especially since I'm overseas."
