Some had said Thomas was prone to overreacting and Thomas had always been aghast with the shock of those lies. He would never overreact. His reactions were always deserved and when there was an apparent maid in his room without his knowledge, of course he’d be shocked! There were not one but two women in his room! For most men, that would be a dream.

Not for Tommy. For Tommy, it was nothing short of absolute disaster.

“Well that makes up for killin’ me with shock!” He said, looking back at the maid, “Nice t’meet you, Eliza. Sorry for, er, bein’ scared by your sudden appearance an’ all.”

He then turned back to Rufus, “So what we doin’?” He asked. Clearly he’d not listened to the suggestions prior.
