Kelly rubbed the spot where it was hit, she wasn’t hit hard because Leon! had blocked the cart in time, and it felt fine right after the hit.

Inreply, Kelly nodded. After checking out, Leon walked ahead with the grocery bags. After taking a few steps, he looked back and saw Kelly trotting behind him. Recalling the incident earlier, he contemplated and transfected the bags in his left hand to his right. Then, he reached out and held Kelly’s hand.
Kelly never expected him to make this move and stiffened the moment his hand touched hers.
They were holding hands Leon had held her hand.
Senting the stiffness of her body, Leon looked at her from the comer of his eye. “You don’t like this?”

As he spoke, he loosened his gap, but Kelly held his hand tightly at lightning speed. “N–No, I’m not bothered.”

Kelly turned to the source of the voice blankly and saw a couple loading toward her hand–in–hand.
Upon a closer look, Kelly recognized her. “It’s you, Stella.”
Kelly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Stella McGuire was her classmate from high school and didn’t know Leon. There would be a commotion it someone t lier university saw her out with Leon.
