A bit helpless, I replied. “But I just can’t seem to put on any pounds. I wish I had some curves too. I put on a bit while I was abroad these past couple of years. Better than before, right?”

Russel reached out and pinched my arm, then circled it with his hand, comparing it. Worry flashed across his face. “You’re still too thin. I’m worried you’re

malnourished”

He had made my arm itch, and I couldn’t help but laugh. I quickly pulled my arm away Tm ticklish!”

A faint smile tugged at the corners of Russel’s mouth. “So if you tease me, I’ll tickle you.”

appearances.

Although I didn’t get the same thrilling tension with him as I did with Neil, I didn’t mind the physical contact with him.
