”Doing what?” Hiram raised his eyebrows, trying to guess the meaning of her words.
”You're trying to get in shape like this to seduce me, aren't you?” she said, looking up into his eyes.
Hiram laughed. ”You think too much. I exercise mainly so I can work better. If I don't keep myself fit and healthy, I'll get sick easily. That might delay a lot of things.”

”Let me go!” Rachel exclaimed in astonishment. He was holding her by the waist.
”Don't you want to hear my answer to the question you texted me today?” Hiram said, putting her down on the seat.
