When Love Comes Late by PASSION

Benny rose from the bed, finding himself alone in the room, yet the disheveled bed sheets served as a silent reminder of the intimacy he shared with Flossie the previous night.

Benny’s mind went blank for a moment as he sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought.

After a prolonged pause, he finally rose from the bed, making his way to the bathroom to wash away the lingering traces of the night before.

Exiting the bedroom, he discovered Flossie having breakfast in the dining room.

She looked up briefly, inviting him to join her as if it were any other day.

Benny pursed his lips.

Observing her serene demeanor, a whirlwind of emotions stirred within him.

Wearing a mask of indifference, he pulled out the chair opposite her and took a seat, preparing to have breakfast.

Throughout breakfast, he found himself glancing up repeatedly, only to discover Flossie quietly eating with her head bowed, seemingly unaffected by the events of the previous night.
