Shane grunted.
Natalie knelt down and began to tie the rope.
After she was done, she clapped her hands before standing up. Feeling satisfied with herself, she asked, “Mr. Shane, try moving a little. Does it feel tight?”
She was worried that her knot was too loose and that the rope would fall off easily. Hence, she tightened it slightly.
Unintentionally, as her words fell upon Shane’s ears, her innocent intention took a whole different meaning.
