Bennett laid Yvonne on the master bed, but as he turned, he realized Bullet had followed him.
The little dog was standing on its hind legs with its front paws on the edge of the mattress, its big, dark puppy eyes watching them without blinking.
The three of them shared a moment of awkward silence.
Bennett's expression darkened. He rolled off the bed, grabbed Bullet, and unceremoniously lifted him to the floor.
"Get some rest. I'm taking Bullet out," he said, then gave the dog a light, nudging kick with his foot.
Bullet let out a yelp and scurried out of the bedroom. But he didn't go far. He planted himself right outside the door, his eyes fixed on Bennett, as if to say, They kicked me out, so why does he get to stay in the master's room?
Bennett followed him out and gently closed the bedroom door.
The next day was Christmas.
Yvonne had been invited to perform at the Istra TV gala and left the apartment early.
Bennett went to the base to finish up some last-minute work. Once he was done, he drove to the television station to wait for Yvonne's performance to end so they could go to the Jones family's house together.
Yvonne was part of an opening song and dance number with several other starlets.
She was dressed in a dress with peony hair ornaments that made her look both beautiful and cheerful.
As she settled into the passenger seat of his car, Bennett couldn't resist reaching out to pinch her fair cheek.
"So cute," he said with a playful, lopsided grin.
Yvonne playfully slapped the back of his hand. "Just drive."
Bennett started the car, and they smoothly merged into traffic.
