When he brushed past Mandy, her sharp senses detected that peculiar scent from Julien.
As she lifted her eyes, she caught a glance of his chest underneath his V-necked T-shirt. The faint, red marks on his chest made her blush! Mandy exhaled and remarked, "Young men are physically fitter indeed." She picked up her cup of tea and took a sip. She let out a cryptic smile. "What did you say, Mandy?"

Mandy waved her hand awkwardly. She chuckled, "It's nothing. Have stea, have stea!" Before coming to Bernardia, Jonah mentioned that there was a local, award-winning dessert shop with delicious desserts. Although he had only said it in passing, Julien had made a mental note of it.
He wanted to buy their desserts tonight so that he could give Jonah a small surprise when they got up tomorrow morning.

So, he picked up his paper bags and stood back up. He curled the corners of his lips upward and spoke in sweet-sounding Grunslandish, "Please stop staring at me. I already have a boyfriend. Please excuse me." śwJust as Julien was about to brush past him, the man suddenly grabbed his arm. In a trembling voice, he asked, "Blake Holland...?" Julien frowned. "Excuse me?" "Blake... You... You're still alive?" His face was full of disbelief! Julien was perplexed. The man grabbed his arm so tightly that it started to hurt. He pulled his arm forcefully away from the man's grasp. "You've got the wrong person." Upon saying that, he rushed out of the door and walked, in the cold winds, toward his car.
