The abrupt change of subject caught Suzy completely off guard. For a moment, she simply stared at Thomas, letting the silence settle between them.
When she failed to respond immediately, Thomas seemed to think she had not heard him.
"When is your junior coming?" he repeated.
Suzy blinked. The comfortable way she had been leaning against him suddenly became stiff and awkward.
For a moment, she could not tell what he meant by the question.
Was he testing her? Or was it something else entirely?
"Which one are you talking about?" she asked, unable to hide her unease.
"The one with the surname Martin," Thomas replied evenly.
Suzy fell silent.
"...I'm not sure yet. Why are you suddenly asking?"
They had not settled on an exact date.
Suzy intended to have Derek come over only after the apartment upgrade was complete. Most likely, it would happen within the next few days.
The truth was, she still had not figured out how to bring the subject up with Thomas.
