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.

Rhett pitched in and loaded the dishes Into the dishwasher, something he wouldn’t bother with in a million years.

“We’re partners, not master and servant outside of work hours.” Rhett told Kristin, saying she didn’t need to bust her chops.

Crouched beside the dishwasher, Kristin fidgeted for quite some time.

Her fingertips grew cold, and she looked down at the floor, feeling deflated. Five years behind bars left her out of sync with society, clueless about these fancy newfangled gadgets.

Seeing Kristin frozen in place, Rhett squatted beside her and peeked at the dishwasher, whispering, “I don’t know how to work this thing, either. Let’s have the housekeeper deal with it

Rhett chuckled softly. “Okay, and then you can teach me.

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.
