The man's breathing momentarily hitched, and it took him several seconds before he said, "What are you planning to do after dinner? Have you booked your flight yet? When do you plan to return to Ashton?"
Her lips curled more proudly and she replied earnestly, "It's not often I get to come out here, so it'd be a real loss to not have a good time before going back, right? I heard there's a nice outdoor hot spring here, and I plan to give it a try. Imagine soaking in the hot spring while enjoying the view of the snowy mountains; just thinking about it feels blissful. And if I happen to meet some handsome guy and have a little 'water and fish' delight, that'd be even more wonderful..."
From the phone came the beeping sound of a call being hung up.
Amelia was actually just joking, but after they had dinner, Oliver really did insist, with great enthusiasm, on taking her to the hot spring.
