"Sorry, I'm late," Jane Sampson quickly apologized, having planned to arrive ten minutes early, but she took too long to dress and delayed her arrival.
"Not at all, it was me, James Carter, who arrived early," Ms. Little said with a smile to Jane before noticing her hand and asking, "What happened to your hand?"
Ms. Little's first thought was: Could it be that Jane refused James Carter's invitation because she injured her hand?
"It's nothing serious, just a sprain," Jane gestured to Ms. Little with her right hand, "It's just that I can't really exert much strength right now, but the doctor said I should recover in about a week."
"That's good to hear," Ms. Little sighed in relief for Jane.
Whether it was playing the piano or acting, if anything were to happen to her hand, the consequences would've been grave.
"Mr. Carter," Jane turned to James Carter and smiled after sitting down, her eyes curving beautifully, "I feel so nervous being so close to Mr. Carter."
