At this moment, Jennifer's brain worked instantly when she took a few steps back. Hesitation was present on her face as she shook her head, "L-Lucas… this…"
On the other hand, Lucas could sense that she has taken a step back from his grip. Opening his eyes, the sight that greeted him was her nervousness-filled expressions.
She was trembling with her widened eyes.
No words slipped out of his mouth but he simply clutched his other hand which was previously holding her chin. Taking a deep breath, his lips sealed into a straight line when he simply nodded his head.
"I-it's fine." He answered with a flat tone, almost making Jennifer realize what she had done. "I-it isn't what you think.. I'm simply.. not r-ready."
"I understand." That was all he answered when he tugged back his hands into his pockets.
