Kristin nodded and ladled some soup for Rhett.

Rhett was stunned for a while. He’d already had dinner but still felt the urge to dig in.

Kristin was eating cautiously, and when Rhett put down his fork, she quickly followed suit and got up to clean up.

Kristin nodded, then ducked into the room and hid behind the door. “Goodnight, Mr. FitzGerald,” she said.

Rhett wanted to say more, but Kristin’s “goodnight” shut him up. She was seriously socially awkward.

With a nod, Rhett headed upstairs.
