"If you've already forgotten him, would you accept me courting you again? Answer me!" He tightened his embrace around her waist and lowered his head towards her, his handsome face drawing close to her cheek.
The man's heated breath met her face head on. Tara didn't dodge, but a feeling of aversion welled up in her heart.
"No!" Just as the man's face was about to touch hers, Tara pushed his chest with her hand and leaned back slightly. "Everything you're saying has nothing to do with whether I've forgotten him or not! I've only been divorced for a year; even if I were to accept another man, that's something for the future. I don't want to consider it now! And it has nothing to do with that man!"
"Really?" George continued to press. "But why can't you even say his name?"
Tara stiffened again. This time she was in George's arms, so he could clearly feel the change in her body. The smile on his lips deepened.
"Denial!"
