Julian glanced at her and smiled, "Nothing."
He reached over to fasten her seatbelt, and casually touched her belly, "Didn't eat less tonight, did you?"
Scarlett caught his hand, "Don't touch me."
Julian: "..."
He let go, gave her a look, and drove away from the Monroe Family's place.
...
Bringing Scarlett back to Ardendale, it was Sevenwinds who picked them up.
Wearing a mask, Sevenwinds saw Scarlett and greeted her, "Madam."
Actually, they hadn't been away for long, but it felt like they had been gone for ages.
He still remembered Julian's determination to go to Rhovan to find Scarlett.
Seeing Scarlett look at Sevenwinds as if trying hard to remember who he was, Julian introduced, "This is Sevenwinds, my assistant."
Scarlett nodded, "Oh."
Sevenwinds looked at Scarlett, still somewhat in disbelief.
He followed Julian, whispered, "Did Madam really damage her brain?"
Julian: "..."
He gave Sevenwinds a glance, "What did you say?"
