"I don't plan on it." Simon told her surely, and continued walking, almost feeling, well, as good as he was going to get at the moment. However, he froze as he...
Kaylee frowned deeply when Simon jerked his hand away from her. She looked over at him, trying to read his face. Why had he pulled away? Was it because of...
