A Love Trap

"Ron, let me help you with that," Ashley said as she pointed at the suitcase beside Ron.

Ron moved the said suitcase behind him to notion that he was refusing her offer. "Let's go. My luggage is not that heavy."

So you really don't have any excuse to be this ignorant."

Ashley, why couldn't you do that? Why couldn't you understand how I truly feel for you?' he
