What Separates Me and You

Chapter 99 Their Display of Affection

The same stormy expression was on Lewis’ face. Despite Josephine’s pitiful pout, he refused to care or even acknowledge her. That cut off any chances she had to converse with him.

Her teeth would often gnash at the thought of them possibly succumbing to a moment of lust and having sex.
