This kind of mood wasn't quite right.
Sebastian Swinton watched Olivia Taylor go to open the door and whispered to Tobias Perkins, "What's going on? Weren't you two fine yesterday?"
Tobias Perkins was also irritable and said to Sebastian, "I don't know either."
Sebastian smiled mischievously and said, "And you still mock me for being single? Tobias Perkins, let me tell you, being single doesn't have the psychological burden you have."
Tobias Perkins left Sebastian and followed Olivia Taylor.
At the doorway, Tobias Perkins said to Sebastian, "Find Romyia Lowell later, and you can leave."
Then, the door was tightly closed.
Sebastian stood there, surprised that Tobias Perkins had shut him out.
"Puzzling," Sebastian couldn't help but say, "Both of you are puzzling."
Olivia Taylor returned to the villa, where the room still smelled of freshly used disinfectant.
The smell made her think of many things.
Her own laboratory, the school's specimen room.
And the hospital.
