"Mr. Anderson, thank you for the purse." From her chair, Jessie got up. Taylor had a point. Marco continued to be a jerk.
"Jessie, calm down. Why are you rushing to leave?"
"Because my husband, Din Cooper, is waiting for me." With her head held high, she spoke. "I have to hurry back home to meet my husband."
"But I just got here. Can't we at least have a brief discussion while you have your seat?"
"Marco, I have nothing more to say. You have my sincere gratitude for both saving my life and returning my purse to me. Is there a way I can pay you in exchange for your kindness?"
