The first thing that Ian witnessed was the way Kace cuddled Hope in his arms. This scene alone was very intimate to be presented early in the morning. What were the two of them thinking?
Hope just realized her position and struggled to free herself, only to be hugged even tighter. "No, this is not what you think!" she panicked. This was indeed a very awkward and suggestive position.
"Don't worry, I will not think anything outrageous." Ian held his right hand up as he walked with a plate full of roasted rabbit, yet his expression told Hope otherwise. This boy indeed had thought of something outrageous.
"Seriously!" Hope rolled her eyes exasperatedly. Kace also didn't help at all by being all clingy like this, hugging her, acting like he was a five year old boy. What happened to this man's personality and behavior?
