Rachel grabbed an orange from the fruit plate, peeled it, and handed it to Ivan. "Do you want an orange?" she asked.

Ivan bit back the words he wanted to say, staring at the orange that was being handed to him. For a moment, he hesitated whether to take it or not.

Seeing that he wasn't taking it, Rachel put the peeled orange on the table in front of him. Then, she peeled another orange for herself, slowly putting it into her mouth.

Ivan had been wanting to finish his sentence several times, but she didn't seem like she was interested in what he wanted to say.

"Miss Bennet, I…" At this point, he felt helpless.

"A little." Her question left Ivan stunned for a moment. He thought that she was worried it would be cold if she would go outside later on. Thus, he told her, "Oh, but don't worry, Miss Bennet. There's heating in the car. And if you don't mind, I can lend you my coat while we're outside."

Rachel leaned back on the sofa, showing no intention of leaving with him. "There's no rush. Eat your orange first. You've been out in the cold for several hours. Or would you rather wait out there even longer?"
