Only then did a grin appear on his lips.

“Relax. I was fooling with you too,” he pushed the hair out of her face and stared deeply into her eyes. “You have my unconditional trust, Janet.‘

A gentle feeling filled her heart.

A blizzard broke in around this time. The wind was gusting, and the snow was so heavy that it was almost impossible to gaze into the distance.
