Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 191

Bennett’s attention had already shifted to Bullet. “Bullet, let’s go.”

The dog, however, didn’t move, staying right by Yvonne’s side.

Bennett’s voice grew firmer. “Bullet.”

The fur on Bullet’s back bristled. Reluctantly, he followed Bennett out the door.

Mr. Cooper sat up in his chair, glancing from the departing Bennett to Yvonne. “The dress fits, doesn’t it? Why are you still lingering here? Go on, go home with your boyfriend.” He waved a dismissive hand at her.

Yvonne could no longer stay. She slowly made her way outside. Bullet was waiting for her at the bottom of the steps. When he saw her, he wagged his tail and barked happily. Bennett’s black G-Wagon was parked nearby. He was leaning against the car door, a cigarette glowing between his fingers.

“You didn’t drive?” he asked, flicking the ash as he looked up at her, his dark eyes as unreadable as ever.

“No,” she mumbled. Her usual car was in for maintenance, and she hadn’t bothered to take another.

She stood there until his car was out of sight before turning to go inside. Just as she slipped off her heels, she saw Teresa and Queena staring at her from the living room.

“What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?” she asked, her bare feet cool against the hardwood floor.

“Was that Mr. Thompson who just dropped you off?” Teresa asked, her tone laced with surprise.
