Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 19 You'll Have To Give Me A Reason
Molly borrowed Hogan's cellphone and went to the rest room during the break. She hesitated for a long time. Finally she took out the note she had kept in her pocket and dialed the number written.
"Hello?" A bewitching voice greeted her from the other side.
Molly was really hesitant to introduce herself. She waited until the person at the other end of the line was threatening to hang up if she didn't talk. "I'm the person you took clothes shopping this morning!"
There was silence at the other end for a while. Molly licked her lips while waiting. It was obvious that she felt uneasy.
"It's you!" Eric answered quietly. He took a sip of wine and asked," You have something to say?"
Even though he asked, Eric knew the answer for sure.

Eric glanced at Brian, who was sipping on his wine leisurely and asked with a smile," What's up?"
Molly didn't answer immediately. She bit her lip and held the piece of paper in her hand with more strength as she was getting nervous. After a while she asked quietly," Can... can I... talk to you later? I mean face-to-face?
