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.”
