Caught off guard by his response, Claudia queried, "Why would you get a piano for a fool? Wait a minute. Besides us, is there a third roommate?"

A hearty laugh escaped Bennett. His laughter resonated deeply in the room.

Claudia was perplexed. “What's so funny?" After saying that, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is this piano prepared for me?"

"Indeed," Bennett confirmed, his laughter subsiding.

He feared if he didn't clarify, Claudia might spin a more ridiculous story.
