When Love Comes Late by PASSION

As Benny returned home that evening, he was taken aback to find Flossie diligently working in the kitchen alongside the maid.

Focused on her task, Flossie adamantly refused any assistance from the maid.

Sensing Benny’s presence, the maid moved to greet him, but he gestured for her to remain silent before quietly ushering her out of the kitchen.

The maid obeyed his instructions and left the room without a word.

Meanwhile, Flossie remained engrossed in her cooking, unaware of the maid’s departure.

“Could you pass me the black pepper beside you?” she requested without looking up.

Moments later, she felt a hand extend the requested item, realizing it wasn’t the maid’s.

Looking up, she found Benny standing beside her with a warm smile.

Momentarily stunned, Flossie accepted the bottle.

“Thank you,” she murmured before returning her focus to the task at hand.

A comfortable silence enveloped them as they worked side by side in the kitchen.

Benny made no attempt to engage Flossie in conversation, yet she didn’t ask him to leave either.

The simplicity of the moment seemed to ease the tension that had lingered between them, suggesting their relationship was on the mend.
