"Oh... it's nothing, just feeling a bit tired..." Betty realized her sigh had not gone unnoticed and by the time she reflected on it, Michael was already questioning her.

She quickly smiled and explained, her tone and expression carrying a trace of apology, as if she was 'pleading' for Michael's 'forgiveness' for her sigh.

"You're thinking about him again, aren't you?" Over time, Michael and Betty had grown much closer, almost sharing everything, a stark contrast to the past when Michael would never dare to question Betty so directly.
