Senator Gregory carried on like nothing was amiss. He continued to act the part of a fool as Matt came to him, cooking up different bullshitting stories. He observed from the corner of his eyes as Matt gave Gwen a thumbs-up while pretending to access her broken ankle.
"Bro, have you had breakfast yet because I'm starving?" Matt said after a few minutes of discussion.
"Yes, I have. I ate with Mom at the airport before she boarded her flight. Why don't you go to the dining, Sam already informed me that the table has been set for a while now."
"That sounds like a great idea," Matt said, standing up. "Gwen, why don't you join me? I wouldn't like to eat alone."
"Sure uncle." Gwen carelessly put her hurting bandaged foot on the ground, forgetting she was supposed to limp or scream out in pain.
"Is your leg feeling better?" The senator asked wearing his calm and loving expression.
