Vivian firmly refused. "No, no, but thank you for the offer."
Her refusal was decisive, like she was covered in spikes, wary of getting too close to Adrian.
Adrian didn't insist and headed to the living room.
Grace let out a long breath, patting her chest. "Adrian's presence is so overwhelming. I almost couldn't breathe."
