Matthew sat back in his chair as he watched Teddy eat his food like it was from some Michelin starred restaurant. He recalled how good the food tasted after he came back. Now, however…

Matthew simply got up and nodded at Teddy. Then he approached Lenox. "Do you need something?"
"About yesterday…" Lenox looked around. "Can we talk in private?"
