Yasmin arrived home almost an hour later. She found Declan sitting on the sofa in the hall with his laptop on his lap, which surprised her. At the same time, she was happy that he had returned so early.
"You came back," she squealed, approaching him.
"Why? Are you disappointed to see me?" He kept working on his laptop, not even looking at her.
Yasmin stalled at his clipped and cold tone. She had no idea why he was upset.
'He might be having a bad day at work,' she reasoned.
"How can I not be delighted to see you?" She sulked and asked a question back. "Let me brew you some coffee. Wait for a while." She resumed her smile as she dropped the bag on the sofa, ready to go to the kitchen.
"You don't have to do that." He rose to his feet, holding the laptop. "Harry will bring me coffee." He strode towards the study.
