Cecilia Vaughn never expected to run into Sean Grant at such a remote school gate.
And he just had to say something that could so easily be misunderstood.
She looked at Adrian Law with some concern, and sure enough, the man's jealousy was boiling over. Although he maintained a facade of calm restraint, the storm brewing in his dark eyes was undeniable.
To those unfamiliar with him, this might go unnoticed, but Cecilia could immediately sense his impatience.
Oh no, oh no!
Adrian Law must have misunderstood. Anyone could see their relationship, and Sean Grant's awkward remark had really put her in a bad spot!
...
Cecilia cautiously approached Adrian Law, tugging at his large hand like a ragdoll cat trying to please its owner.
"Adrian..."
Surprisingly, Adrian Law didn't say anything. As usual, he gently brushed her hair, and then naturally took her right hand.
"Cecilia, let's go."
"Okay."
So calm?
