“Amber, are you okay?” he asked. “That must have been tiring to deal with. I’m sorry you had to deal

Richard chuckled at her blunt assessment, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes. He extended his

hand towards her, a playful glint in his gaze. “Well, let’s not let a useless bastard ruin our

rested gently on Amber’s waist, while Amber’s arm was draped around his neck. As they danced, their
