"Oh, um, yeah." She took a tumble and felt utterly foolish.

Moira blinked. "Need me to walk you out?"

Even though Moira had escorted Barclay out many times before, for some reason, she still felt a bit bashful. "Yeah."

With time ticking away, Barclay agreed and headed for the door, with Moira quick to follow.

Jordan had been waiting for Barclay for quite a while now, starting to sweat with the worry.

Finally spotting Barclay emerge from the villa, he breathed a sigh of relief.

And when Jordan caught sight of Moira, suddenly everything clicked.

'Hey, Mr. Covington and Mrs. Covington sure have a strong bond,' he mused.

Moira halted at the doorstep of the villa. "Take care on your way."

She waved her hand gently.

Barclay nodded. "I'll be back in a couple of days."

"Alright."

He might have been putting on an act, but the way his eyes met hers always gave her this uncanny feeling that they truly were a married couple. Being handsome really could be deceiving.

Moira watched Barclay climb into the car with a smile before turning to head back.

But just as she did, a sudden stabbing pain shot through her knee, causing her leg to buckle momentarily.
