Her face flushed as he stared at her, her eyes flickered, and she reached out to pull on his arm, avoiding his enchanting gaze. "Ahem, aren't we going to pick a gift for Aria? Let's go."
Ashton Heath looked at her small hand pulling him, hooked his lips, and his big hand grasped hers, wrapping her little hand in his palm.
His palm was very big, completely covering her soft, white little hand.
The traffic lights flashed a few times, turning green.
Ashton Heath held her hand tightly and led her across the street to the mall: "Let's go."
*
They arrived at the mall.
Ashton Heath took her directly to the luxury goods floor by elevator.
Exiting the elevator,
Joanna stared at the staggeringly expensive brands and hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Ashton stopped as well.
After a moment of silence, Joanna told the truth: "Let's go to the other floors instead. The things here are too expensive."
It wasn't that she was stingy and unwilling to buy expensive gifts for Aria Rowlett.
