Abigail’s Second Life

Sean was stunned for a moment. She was putting on a ladylike act?

Sean nodded. "You're right. I may be a bit reserved. Perhaps I should be more talkative."

"Finish your meal, and then we can go. There's no need to worry. Oh, you can't finish all that, can you? Sorry for giving you so much." Lina offered her an out.

"I can't eat all of this. I'm sorry." Irene apologized uncomfortably.
