"Pfft." Sarah chuckled and rolled her eyes. "You were out for 3 days and 6 hours, you think I'm missing you?"

Inside her mind, she couldn't help but add. '34 minutes.'

"Alright. alright. I almost didn't recognize you just now. You're dressed…differently today." Varian scanned her from head to toe and said.

Sarah stiffened when he brought up the topic and finally relaxed.
