บท 1935: Sunday's lunch with the Longs (6)

"Do you want to chat more with the girls, or do you want to do something else?", Gabriel asked Becca.

Becca had no intention to stay longer with girls who want to know details about the intimacy between her and Gabriel. If it's a girl-only party where they fool around, it's one thing, but this is a classy event at the Long family, and the elders are watching them. Becca couldn't shake off the feeling that most of the people have their eyes on her, and she was not wrong about that.

She clung onto Gabriel's hand. "I would love to see inside if you are willing to give me a tour. And you should also introduce me to… your… parents…", she ended in a small voice.

Gabriel let out a long breath. "OK. Let's go." In his mind, he added: '…and be done with it.'

Gabriel was looking where his parents were when Bridgette approached them. "Gabe, do you mind if I steal Becca for a moment?"
