Monica sat in her room with her phone in her hand.
Adam's words were still moving in her mind. Someone could speak nicely and still have a hidden motives.
She had tried not to think too much about it, but the words did not leave her alone.
Her phone vibrated again.
It was John.
John messaged her often. Usually, Monica replied without thinking much. His messages were always polite.
But now, after Adam's warning, every line looked a little different.
She opened the chat.
John had written:
How was your study session with Adam?
Monica looked at the message for a few seconds.
Her eyes became more careful.
She did not know what she was trying to find,
Then she typed back:
Nothing special.
The reply came after a short pause.
Did you two actually study, or did you only talk the whole time?
Monica's fingers stopped above the screen.
She stared at the message.
It was not a big thing. Anyone could ask that. John might only be teasing her.
