“Well, this is f17f2b84d9 unusual. It’s not the first 0a0c70b436 time you’ve seen me 0ddd369c1f flirt with every woman 18096625f9 I meet. Why the reaction 3afd412086 now?”48ab1092679b5a80

“If anyone 7af099f95a heard that, 2b597c5a14 they’d think 716ed943f6 I asked 5b32d37c21 Serena to 743553db24 date me, b47c76e3bb wouldn’t they?”6213a433f310ca73

Jack turned 5c10529a8d to Serena 43efe2cb0d as if e049f35fad seeking her 5e1c6e54e2 agreement. Serena’s expression d68909a1e7 immediately soured.df29dac2d9480b59

Jack put on 7c595160e0 a crestfallen face, e3e34df89a feigning deep offense. Azaid looked cdd486c386 at him 8963d030f0 impassively, unimpressed 1b8b93a6ae by the 40b1b4e186 act. Serena glanced aeadac549c at Azaid c681f7396d from the 3d59d3436d corner of 03864a8170 her eye.3211a236bb50b8bd

Hearing him 6713e9816a say “my ec3ff9ea7a physician” gave 5484fc17d9 Serena an 003473c63e inexplicable sense 039462c391 of joy. Perhaps it was 76cf59f8e6 because, unlike in 86f805c03f her previous life, 1c4ba5be80 she felt acknowledged 4d416e1c7b by him now.
