He is not His Biggest Fan
When Benjamin turned eighteen, he and Monica’s father moved in together. When he began to spend more time at home, Monica disapproved of his friendship with them and would even hide out to avoid them from accidentally meeting. She didn’t want to make the friendly small talk Michael expected of her.
Opening Up
Monica got more comfortable with the pair the more she visited them. She began to enter their room for a few minutes now and again, and after a time, they felt just as at ease with her as they did with each other. Michael would even find them having intoxicated discussions at their place during his yearly birthday celebration.
