With an air of nonchalance, she remarked, "Don't worry about it. When your Greg shows up, he'll handle it." "Mrs. Ford."

"Jane." Before I could even see him clearly, I was wrapped in a tight embrace.
I patted Gregory on the back, “I told you, I'm fine. I wouldn't lie to you." The incident at the banquet seemed the surface, Gregory minor on always appeared nonchalant about everything.
But I knew it had left its mark on him, mostly because of me.
I expressed my concern for Dailey's condition, "You should check on him. I heard he has a high fever." Gregory was aware of Dailey's fever.
