A Lingering Tension

Morgan was taken aback as Melody playfully tugged him along. "What are you trying to do, Mel?"

He was unsure about her intentions and where her impulsive actions might lead. Their conversation still had a lot of tension, showing how hard it was for them to interact well as they had different ways of doing things.

"Just reminding everyone that life isn't always a fairy tale, Morgan. Let's go and give them a show they won't forget."

Morgan quickly yanked her arm to bring her to a halt. 

"Mel, let's not make a scene in front of my family," he said in a hushed yet firm tone, his gaze fixed on her. "You don't know what you're doing."

"What?" Melody rolled her eyes and gave him a furious glare.
