Laura, her irritation evident as she bit her lip, issued a warning.

"If you persist, I'll leave right now.”

Edwin finally relaxed his grip a bit; as she got up, he couldn't help saying, "You looked absolutely stunning just now. Laura, I've never seen you quite like that."

Laura silently pushed him aside and made her way to the bathroom.

The bathroom's light spilled out, illuminating her figure and casting a soft glow on her.
