”How’s work, love?”
Andrea started her charm offensive as soon as Henry entered the room and approached Andrea hesitantly. She stroked her forehead and asked how his job was going. Henry replied grudgingly that he was out of work due to the birth. He was surprised by Andrea’s response.
She was happy that he came to her aid when she called and was confident of a smooth recovery. Henry was relieved when he heard this. He had been worried that Andrea’s recovery would be complicated. Henry was quickly assured that everything would be fine, and was able relax and enjoy his time with Andrea.
Her secret
Henry decided to put his professional obligations ahead of caring for Tommy, in light of Andrea’s opinion that his presence on the job was very important. Andrea highlighted Henry’s skills as a committed politician and how indispensable he is to the city council. Henry was focused on one thing despite Andrea’s well-intentioned words: her apparent desire to prevent him from spending time together with Tommy. This fueled his suspicions that Andrea had a secret. Henry was not convinced by Andrea’s portrayal of a loving, supportive wife. He found it hard to believe her motives.
Henry could not shake the suspicion that Andrea was trying to hide her secret from Tommy. He was convinced that Andrea was manipulating him to suit her agenda. Henry was steadfast and determined to discover the truth hidden in the depths Andrea’s hidden motives. He wanted to solve the mystery, and reveal the information that Andrea was keeping from him.
