He was stunned for a few minutes. That was fast.

He replied suspiciously, “Are you there, Ms. Sullivan?”

Paul stared at his phone for another ten minutes.

There were no further replies from Skylar. Paul breathed a sigh of relief. He must have been overthinking

She asked Joe whether he’d prefer the left or right side of the bed. Then, she laid down immediately.
