Chapter 19

• “Wow, lovebirds! How are you?” Samuel’s unexpectedly warm greeting welcomed Xander and Lisa as they arrived at the gym. Samuel’s rock-hard body was glistening with the heavy sweat.
• “Oh, Sam! What a coincidence! Are you done, bro?” Xander replied warmly. He tried to forget Samuel’s behavior a few weeks ago because the matter was well resolved, thanks to Lisa.
• Unfortunately, Lisa didn’t. He felt intimidated by Samuel’s presence at this time. Not because she felt suffocated around Samuel, but because all her ideas and suggestions about her loveless relationship with Xander had failed. Miserably.
