Russel reached out and pinched my arm, then circled it with his hand, comparing it. Worry flashed across his face. “You’re still too thin. I’m worried you’re

malnourished”

He had made my arm itch, and I couldn’t help but laugh. I quickly pulled my arm away Tm ticklish!”

A faint smile tugged at the corners of Russel’s mouth. “So if you tease me, I’ll tickle you.”

He really thought I would tease him? I laughed, standing on my tiptoes to pinch his handsome face. “Try me?”

appearances.

Although I didn’t get the same thrilling tension with him as I did with Neil, I didn’t mind the physical contact with him.

Maybe if we stick with it, we’ll end up with a happy ending.
