"I know he's a married man. I'm not going to do anything. I just want to make sure he's safe. I could do without you guys reminding me about it over and over again."
Collin remained quiet and gave her a look.
'Bonnie really is married. Moreover, her husband is none other than Ivor, a renowned figure in Pyralis! This isn't the most important thing, though. What matters more is that Bonnie is actually a lady.’
Yasmine smiled bitterly.
For a moment there, none of them said anything. Silence hung over the car.
…
Bonnie looked for Falcon as soon as she replied to Collin's text.
Falcon heard someone knocking on his door and went over to open it. He was stunned when he saw Bonnie.
"What brought you here, Barrett? Is there anything I can do for you?"
Bonnie pretended to be dispirited and let out a sigh.
"It's nothing, really. I just ran into something that made me feel awful. So, I want to chat with you and take my mind off it."
Falcon heard what she said and scanned her suspiciously.
"What could've made you feel awful? Are you going to tell me Billy did something that upset you?"
"It's not Billy. It's something else." Bonnie lowered her head and appeared to be downtrodden.
Falcon asked with a smile, "Why would you want to talk to me about it?"
