James could hear her grievances and quickly reached out his slender hand towards her.
âAlright, letâs stop arguing and go home with me.â
The woman sitting in the chair glanced at his attractive hand and took hold of it.
âDo we have any Häagen-Dazs ice cream at home?â
A faint smile gradually appeared on Jamesâ pale face.
âI donât know, weâll have to ask Frank when we get back.â
âThen letâs ask him when we get back.â
Amelia placed her sweaty hand into his palm and intentionally rubbed it against his. She was infuriated that she had run out and almost been sunburnt, so she wanted to disgust him on purpose.
