"You can sit on my lap, and I will show you how to press the pedals and steer the car.", James said like it was a totally normal thing.
Cornelia was curious about driving, but she was not sure about sitting on his lap. Will there be space for her to sit? And how can she focus on anything if her behind is on his thighs? Won't that be too intimate?
Cornelia wanted to do many things with James, but first, she wanted to know, "Where are we going?"
"To have fun. Just the two of us."
He took her hand into his and kissed the back of her palm, pleased that she was not pulling back.
"Cora, do you trust me?", he asked.
"About?"
James shook his head. "You were supposed to say, yes, but I understand. I disappointed you too many times. From now on, I will not give you a single reason to doubt me."
"You didn't tell me where we are going."
