"Sorry," he dropped a kiss on top of her head and told her to go back to their table first.
Watching Dana returned to their table, he thought to himself, he can't really blame her friends, especially Jess. She doesn't know him, but he was surprised to know that even Ellise does not want him for Dana.
He shakes his head to clear the negative thoughts on his mind. He just has to prove to them that he can make Dana happy.
