Ivor was still speaking when he took advantage of the situation and clasped his fingers with Bonnie's.
She turned her head sideways and glanced at him.
Ivor turned around and looked at her. The joy in his eyes deepened.
Bonnie saw it, and her lips couldn't help but twitch. She suspected that Ivor was trying to take advantage of her, but she couldn't tell for sure.
Meanwhile, Floyd saw them locking gazes and quickly turned his head sideways. He could do without seeing this scene.
'I knew it. Ivor and Bonnie won't stop being lovey-dovey when they're together. Just a minute ago, he looked so miserable that he didn't find her here.
'Now that Ivor finally sees Bonnie, he immediately goes back to being a man who's hopelessly in love.’
Bonnie watched as Ivor clasped their fingers together, but she didn't do anything about it.
"Are we going to keep standing here and holding hands until the end of time?"
"If you're okay with it, I'm more than happy to stand here with you until time itself stops." Ivor's lips curled into a grin. His eyes were brimming with longing and affection. "Also, I like what you said about the end of time. You can say more of it."
Bonnie rolled her eyes. "Jeez. You just won't stop being smart-mouthed."
"Hehe…" Ivor chuckled.
"If you're going to say that I'm being smart-mouthed, then I'm going to respond to you the same way I always do."
