This taste made him feel extremely at ease.
He couldn't help but nudge closer, rubbing his chin on her shoulder and said to Amanda Smith with a gentle voice, "Can't you just not be angry?"
"I just don't want this child..."
"You know me, I hate being manipulated by others."
"If you really like kids, let's wait until we are ready and then have one, okay?"
He tossed and turned, talking at length, but the person with her back to him remained motionless, leaving him talking until his throat was dry without any response from her.
Samuel Johnson even thought she had fallen asleep.
Unable to resist, he turned his head to glance at her, and there Amanda was, her eyes open and looking straight ahead, simply without any reaction, not asleep.
He couldn't help feeling a bit angry, had he not humbled himself enough trying to coax her? And this person still dared to overstep?
