"Don't you think I'm greedy?"
"You must've had a reason for taking the money," Benjamin praised.
Shelly could not help but laugh. She, too, would feel happy from getting validation sometimes.
"Do you want to have lunch at home?" Benjamin changed the topic.
"I don't think there's anything in the fridge." Shelly remembered that she had emptied the fridge before she left because she was afraid that it would be rotten when she came back.
"I'll go buy lunch." Benjamin volunteered. "What would you like to eat?"
"No need. Just keep an eye on Bella for me, and I'll go buy lunch."
"How can Bella be separated from you?" Benjamin was certain. "Just tell me what you like to eat, and I'll buy it."
Shelly saw that Benjamin had already walked out of the door.
"There's a supermarket in the neighborhood."
"I know. I saw it when we came in." With that, Benjamin smiled and left.
Shelly stared at Benjamin as he left.
