Even kissing happened less often.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh, so she's waiting here!
James Black pretended not to hear Jane Sampson's childlike remark. He put on his clothes, lowered his head, and touched her head with his hand, "I'll get the card myself, and hand over the delivery to you at noon."
After saying that, he walked out alone, looking refreshed. Oh, no, he looked satisfied as he strode out.
Get it myself?
Only then did Jane Sampson realize that even though the battlefield had shifted, it still wasn't safe.
Jane suddenly regained her energy and dashed out, her steps pounding, even faster than James. She ran to the doorway of the study, spread her arms wide, and blocked James from outside the door.
"No more! No more rewards for you!" She shook her head vigorously.
"You were happy this morning." James stated this like a fact, and then continued, "You said that if I made you happy, there would be a reward. As an adult, Jane Sampson, you should keep your promise."
This again?
