Tiffany was caught off guard. "Mr. Lewis?" With Vincent standing amidst the mist, he seemed like a mirage.
Rubbing her eyes in disbelief, Tiffany wondered if she was still half-asleep or dreaming. But there stood Vincent, undeniably real and alive before her.

She had scrambled eggs, a piece of toast, a small bowl of oatmeal, and a few slices of fruit. So did Vincent. She couldn't help but wonder if he did it on purpose.
Noticing her gaze, Vincent said with a smile, "I didn't know what was good, so I just picked what you did." He glanced at her tray again. "Are you sure that's enough nutrition for you?

You need to take a shower first and change your clothes." en Vincent glanced down at the stain, unfazed. "I can change at the office." With that, he opened the car door, motioning for Tiffany to get in.
