Distraction

Morgan cleared his throat and chimed in, surprising both Melody and Preston. "Good morning, you two," he said with a cold expression. "Is everything okay?"

Her face flushed slightly as she turned to face him. "Yes, everything's fine," she replied haltingly, feeling a little embarrassed that he might have overheard their conversation.

Preston smirked at Morgan, clearly amused by the situation. "We were just discussing your upcoming trip to London," he explained. "Melody is concerned about the potential distractions."

His expression remained stoic as he looked between Preston and Melody. He didn't find the situation amusing and could sense that Melody was feeling uncomfortable. "I'm sure Melody can handle herself," he replied evenly, hoping to diffuse the tension. "But thank you for your concern, Preston."
