“Got it all on record?”
Bryson’s voice cut through the silence, and Hannah nodded in affirmation.
Then it dawned on her. She was still sitting on Bryson’s lap!
In a swift motion, Hannah stood up!
Bryson made no move to hinder her. Gazing up at Hannah, he inquired, “Is that sufficient?”
Hannah couldn’t afford to entangle with Bryson tonight. Without a word, she turned and strode away.
“You’ll reckon with me later!”
Bang!
