Esther wasn't sure if James knew about Finnegan's feelings for her. "It's okay, I know." She leaned on his chest and assured him, "I know what I did upset you." Seeing Esther apologizing made James feel even more guilty. Since this had happened, there was no need for him to keep it from her anymore. "Do you know why I got upset?" Esther hesitated. "Because I was with another guy and that bothered you." James almost chuckled in exasperation. "So I'm supposed to get jealous every tyou're around other guys on set?" Esther suddenly understood. "So you're just jealous of him, right?" James nodded. "Yeah." "Then I won't have dinner alone with anyone else again," Esther quickly promised.
"It's not that I won't let you have dinner alone with them." James sighed, realizing she still didn't understand what he meant. "It's just that Finnegan isn't up to any good." If Finnegan could hide his feelings and not reveal them easily, he could ensure that he and Esther could get along normally. But he knew Esther had been hurt in relationships and would be extra cautious when dealing with the opposite sex. If she knew Finnegan liked her, she wouldn't interact with him as if nothing had happened. Esther's face then went pale. "Are you saying that he likes me?" "Yes." Esther was speechless. So, her earlier suspicions were right. But why would Finnegan lie to her? Was it because she had a boyfriend, so he just wanted to stay by her side as a friend? Seeing her silence, James thought she was shocked and asked, "Did this matter affect you so much?" Esther shook her head. "No, it's just that I don't think Finnegan should like me."
James found her innocence amusing. "Why shouldn't he? You're so lovely of course, plenty of guys would like you." Esther's popularity was worrying. He almost wanted to tie her up and keep her by his side.

"We hardly had any contact before. There's no way he'd like me," Esther insisted finding the idea absurd. "Why not? But that's not important. We should-"
But James's words were cut off as Esther suddenly exclaimed in panic, "That caris coming right at us!" X
