When she got off the car, the cold winter wind blew over. She felt refreshed.

She turned to look at Kenny Clarke who was wearing a thin shirt. She couldn’t help asking, “Aren’t you cold?”

When she asked, Kenny Clarke turned to look at her.

He was about say, “What do you think?”, but instead, he said, “I’m not cold.”

Gloria Taylor was mentally preparing herself to listen to his harsh words and planning to reply him with, “You deserve it.”, but he said that he was not cold.
