“I apologize.

“I’m quite resilient,” Flossie remarked as she entered behind him, closing the door and exhaling a silent sigh of relief.

When she sat back on the sofa, Edmund observed her for a while.

Upon noticing no change in her demeanor, Edmund’s concerns eased, and he sipped the soup with a sense of relief.
