Adam's gaze dropped. Slowly, he pulled his arm free from Carly's grasp, "I'm heading to the office. Go house on your own.' Not sparing her another glance, he turned and strode toward his car.
Carly's face turned pale. Desperation clawed at her as she rushed forward, stepping in front of him to block his path. "Adam, I want you to takehouse.

It had always been obvious that Adam's feelings for Celine were the kind of feelings a man has for a woman.
Carly's cheeks tinged red as tears welled in her eyes.
