You Thief!

Bella giggled at that, while Ben chuckled too."I didn't know you were so wise," She said dryly. 

"But you get my point, right? I'm sure you did. Now I'm really sorry I kept it from you, but I wanted you to hear it from Joan directly before saying anything," Ben apologised again. 

"It's fine. I hope he didn't hit her?" Bella asked with a scowl. She wasn't going to take it likely with Patrick if he had hit Joan. 

"I'm not sure. But you should know that Drake was there too. I saw him with Joan before Patrick met her, so I don't know if that had anything to do with the reason he was manhandling her," Ben explained. 

"I guess I'll just give her a call when we are done," Bella said with a sigh. Maybe Ben was right. Maybe she was overdoing it and should probably just relax and let things take their natural course.
