Hugo moved through the cinema with a firm grip on Loli's delicate hand, ignoring the small resistance she gave.
She muttered something about being able to walk just fine on her own, but he pretended not to hear it and tightened his hold slightly.
There was no way he was letting go now. He had finally secured this date, and there was no telling if Loli would suddenly change her mind and decide to bolt!
She was unpredictable like that!
He could already tell she wasn't used to these emotions—the fear, the nervousness, the possibility of something happening between them.
Most likely, she'd try to run away from them if she got scared, and Hugo couldn't afford to let her escape!
He had worked too hard for this moment! This wasn't just a date; it was a mission, a carefully planned operation.
And rule number one? Never lose control of the situation.
