Their friendship hit a wall the moment Sabrina confessed.

Before, a simple hug between them was no big deal. But now that everything was out in the open, James felt really uncomfortable even thinking about touching Sabrina. He stepped back, trying to hide how nervous he was.

"Why are you acting all scared? I'm just joking." Sabrina laughed, finding his reaction funny.

"Alright, alright. It's late, you should head home," Sabrina said with her usual playful wink. "Otherwise, your future wife might start worrying."

Thinking of Esther made James smile. "Okay, take care. We'll visit you again soon."

Sabrina nodded and waved him off with a hint of annoyance. "Just go. Don't disturb my rest."
