In the evening after finishing dinner at Rosewood Mansion, Amayah went to Nolan and whispered carefully, "Master Nolan, you said yesterday that you wanted to go for a walk tonight. Shall we go now?"
Nolan frowned but grunted affirmatively.
He got up and they walked out of the room towards the stairs. They stopped right before the stairs.
Amayah regarded him for a moment and finally asked, "Just in case… shall we hold hands?"
Nolan silently held out his hand, and she took it immediately. His hand was enormous. Rather than holding her hand, he completely enveloped it.
When Nolan held her slender hand in his, it felt so warm and soft.
