Eugene remained calm and composed, holding her wrist firmly as he made his way forward with large strides. The intimate contact discomfited Melanie, who struggled against it.

“I thought you were pretending to be blind just now with how slow you were. What’s with the pretense now?” Eugene sneered above her head.

Eugene’s steps faltered for a moment before he chuckled lightly and commented, “That’s a pretty good excuse.”
