Kevin's palm soon became sweaty from excitement and nervousness, feeling sticky. He was embarrassed, fearing Mia might feel disgusted. He wanted to let go but couldn't. Just as he was conflicted, Mia smiled and said, "Tired? Let's switch hands."
She moved to Kevin's other side, extending her delicate hand and intertwining her fingers with his. The new position felt more natural and comfortable.
"Mrs. Wilson, how many boyfriends did you have in college?" Kevin asked, feeling a pang of jealousy at the thought of Mia holding other men's hands like this.
"Are you trying to find out about my private life?" Mia said, slightly annoyed but still smiling. "I had three boyfriends. The first two didn't last long and the third was my husband. Does that bother you?"
Kevin felt uncomfortable hearing this. In his mind, Mia should have been pure and untouched. But then he remembered he had been with Camila, Evelyn Allen, and even Vanessa Wood. It wasn't his place to judge.
