“Let go,” Cynthia said, her gaze fixed on Michelle’s grip on her arın,
Michelle hesitated, noticing that some people had already gathered around them. She complained with a touch of grievance,” I thought you would be bored by yourself, so I thought of bringing you over for some fon. I didn’t mean anything else.”
“Who is she? I’ve never seen her before.”
