Seeing her thanking him, Lorne Noah Jackson curled his lips slightly and suddenly lifted his hand... to pinch her face.
Emily Simpson was startled by his unexpected gesture...
At that moment, Lorne's voice followed, "Let's consider that a thank-you gift."
"..." Emily touched the cheek that was just pinched and, far from feeling pain, she couldn't help but let out a silly laugh.
.........
Since Andrew Cooper's matter was left to Lorne, Emily felt relieved and didn't contact Andrew herself.
It wasn't until the next morning that Emily was woken up by the ring of a phone...
She groggily got up and saw it was an incoming call from Lorne, which instantly perked her up.
"Hello!" she picked up the phone, her voice full of energy.
You should know that it was rare for Lorne to make phone calls.
"Looks like you're awake already," came Lorne's voice from the other end.
"Yeah, what's up?" Emily responded promptly.
