Not His Biggest Fan
Benjamin and Monica’s father lived together when Benjamin turned eighteen. When he started to hang around at the house more, Monica didn’t approve of his friendship with them and would even hide out to prevent them from accidentally meeting each other. She didn’t feel like making the friendly small talk Michael wanted her to make.
Opening Up
The more Monica visited the couple, the more she became at ease. She started coming into their room for a few minutes now and then, and after a while, they felt just as comfortable with her as they did each other. Michael would even catch them having drunken conversations during his annual birthday bash at their house.
