Ric raised his hands in mock surrender. "Got it, ma'am! I'll make sure to remember that," he teased before opening the car door for her.
Monica gave Ric a polite wave before Cammy pulled out of the parking lot. Unlike the sour expression she had worn when she first saw Cammy at Cross Tech's lobby, Monica now had a satisfied smile on her face.

"Yeah, he is," Cammy replied absentmindedly before shifting the topic. "By the way, where are you staying?"
Monica shot her a confused look. "What do you mean? I'm staying with you, of course!" she said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
