The silence that followed Merry’s outburst was eerie.

Cordelia looked on, completely baffled, wondering what Merry was rambling about.

Even Bland, usually so composed, seemed stunned. His expression was frozen, and the mole under his eye seemed to betray his surprise. After a five–second pause, as Merry started to regret her words, Bland smiled. “Or, you want to help me with that?”

Cordelia was speechless.

Cordelia gave up on her, sidestepping into the restroom and leaving the two alone.

Merry’s heart fluttered. “You can do it!”

Bland’s fine features suddenly relaxed into a smile, his charm glowing in the dim light outside the restroom, “Add my contact?”
