"A bit," Leanne replied.

Curtis picked up her bag for her.

"It's quite a bad burn. I've just treated it," Curtis looked at Jeremy "Thanks e for earlier.
Despite the jealousy brewing inside him from seeing Jeremy holding Leanne so closely, Curtis couldn't show it in front of her. Plus, he had to keep his priorities straight. Leanne's safety was more important than his jealousy.
"No trouble at all," Jeremy responded courteously. "Glad she's alright." Curtis put his arm around Leanne's shoulder, "I'll take her hnow. I owe you a dinner." Jeremy accepted the offer smoothly, "Sure." The two men departed amicably, much to Suzan's surprise.

"I can get hon my own." She ordered a ride on her phone in front of him.
