Sonia then dragged Alex back into the game.

Alex followed her without sparing an extra glance at Candice.

Candice still had his jacket with her. He lent it to her earlier when her dress got dirty because of her car.

She wanted to clean it before returning it to him.

Candice was not a fan of thunder, so she shut the windows tight.
