"I'm sorry." Sophie Smith pulled herself together, gently tugging at his sleeve with a hint of appeasement.
"You're saying, I forced you?" Clearly, he had taken her words to heart.
"I... I was talking about the past, not now."
As for that 'past,' it probably dates back to five years ago.

She was just about to reach for his hand, but instead, he held hers.
"Don't say that again next time, got it?" He pinched her waist with a bit of force, making Sophie wince slightly.
She couldn't understand what Asher Land was upset about. He had done it before, hadn't he? Does he want to clear his name now?
Eva Miller refused to come down for a meal, so Sophie took the tray from the maid and decided to bring it to her personally.
"Wait." Luke Land stopped Sophie, taking one of the dishes off the tray. "She doesn't like this."
