Winter couldn’t help but laugh. “Serves him right! Hansel’s been cruising for a bruising for a long time, and finally, there’s someone shameless. enough to knock him down a peg!”

Sam wondered if he’d heard her right Did Winter even have a clue

about manners?

After finishing her laugh, she downed the rest of her almond milk and wiped her mouth. “Alright, I get it. Well then, good luck with… winning the lady’s heart soon

“Thanks, I appreciate it.” Sam nodded slightly.
