Hoodwinking Mason
Julia tried as much as she could to be herself around Mason, perhaps to hoodwink him into forgetting about last night’s events. She looked determined to avoid bringing up anything that could lead them to discuss the matter. Her husband watched in awe as she tried at all costs to avoid engaging him.
She kept reassuring her husband that all was well, but her body language and tone gave a totally different message. It may have been an unintentional quip from her to him, but it served its purpose all the same. All the same, he didn’t let his hope for his wife subside or wane.
