Seeing Amos' dropped jaw made Joanna regret saying the words she did. She thought of what to do to save herself and only one idea came to her mind.
And that was to run as far as her legs could carry her.
"I will take my leave now," Joanna muttered as she stood up, bent and tried to push his legs away to create a path for herself.
Amos grabbed her hand just in time before she could stand up. "Since you shut me up in that manner, how about I do the same to you?... Let's see whether you will like it too," Amos said.
His face inches closed as he tries to reenact what happened earlier.
Ahem!
Joanna let out a dry cough when their lips were about to meet.
"Don't you dare think you can deceive me…,"
Ahem!
She coughed yet again. He realised she might not be joking on her third cough.
"Wait here while I get you something to drink," He said as he let go of her hands.
He stood up and proceeded to the kitchen in a rush.
