'The rats were the excuse?' Leonard was dumbfounded. He couldn't comprehend what her intention was.
A strategist's words could never be blindly trusted.
'She's definitely misleading me.' He thought to himself. To mess with his mindset, she was doing all these flirtatious acts for a reason.
He needed to retract his hand now!

He was immediately caught off guard and landed straight on her lap. His arm was wrapped around her neck in the meantime, during his attempt to balance himself.
"You're quite aggressive, Leon." Eleanor turned to him and mused. "Are you going to conquer me here?"
'This woman…' Leonard's pupils constricted. He was starting to lose more and more of his mind when dealing with her.
She was intoxicating and dangerous simultaneously, almost like poison ivy.
Her body fragrance was also affecting his sense of smell.
