Wendy entered the room and began removing her wet clothes to change into the dry ones
Suddenly she heard footsteps from outside Someone was approaching the door
That person was right outside and she was in the middle of changing
Wendy quickly called out Who s there Who s outside
The person on the other side gave a sheepish laugh Wendy it s me
ItwasAlec.
WendyhadbeenwaryofAlecever sincehehadbroughtherandBenny back.Thoughhehadhelpedthem,heclearlyhadulteriormotives.
But she couldn t afford to make an enemy of Alec just yet Benny was seriously injured and they were on Alec s turf
Wendy forced a neutral tone What brings you here
Alec stood by the door peering through the crack He tried to get a glimpse of her but Wendy was standing in a place where he couldn t see
Alec grew impatient Are you done changing Should I come in and help
Hewantedtocomein.
Wendyimmediatelyrefused,hervoicefirm.”Iappreciatetheoffer,but I’mfine.”
Alec stone softened but there was a hint of insistence Wendy you re a guest here I have to take care of you I m coming in
Without waiting for her response Alec pushed the door open
Wendy,nowfullydressed,stoodcalmlyandfacedAlec.”I’malreadydressed.Thank you.”
