When Love Comes Late by PASSION

Just as they left the office, they bumped into Lindsay.

“Matthew, are you heading out?” Lindsay asked, clearly surprised.

Matthew’s brow furrowed in slight irritation.

“Why aren’t you in the hospital? What are you doing here?”

Feeling unjustly accused, Lindsay explained, “The doctor gave me the all clear.

It’s dull staying alone in the hospital, so I came here to keep busy.

I really meant what I said about wanting to get back to work.”

Then, somewhat hesitantly, she inquired, “Are you off to some social event?”

Fernando took a quick glance at Matthew, thinking it was best to keep quiet.

Matthew avoided detailing his plans, dismissing her icily.
