The Runaway Groom
Watson standing there, asking, "Ma'am? Sorry, I thought you were asleep, and I saw a light in here…"
Irene tucked the photo inside the envelope and returned it on top of the desk. "I was asleep, and was thinking about reading a book."
"I see…" Mrs. Watson replied, but she was clearly skeptical.
Irene smiled. "It's true."
Mrs. Watsons smiled in return. "And here I thought you can't sleep because Mr. Jefferson is away."
Irene was speechless—did Mrs. Watson read her mind?
Simply plucking a book without really looking, she started to leave. "You should turn in, Mrs. Watson. I'm going to bed too."
