He tilted his head and took a quick glance to admire Asher's handsome profile. "You've been ignoring me for over half an hour. I've already decided that if you ignore me for one more minute, I'll ignore you forever."

Asher felt a flutter in his heart at Arnold's childish behavior, but he casually asked, "Do you usually have afternoon tea with the aunties?"
