Polly Sutton released Victor Parker's arm and was about to sit upright when Victor pulled her over to lean against him as they both looked at the menu.
"I don't plan on getting married," Victor replied, leaving it up to everyone else to interpret what that meant.
Not planning on marriage, hence not caring about it, was one interpretation.
Not planning on marriage, but unable to resist true love, was another.
Forced to lean against him, Polly picked out a few more dishes, grinding her heel against Victor's foot without causing him to flinch; clearly, not only was his skin thick, but so were his soles.
Only after the order was placed did Victor release her, and Isabella Lowe brought up childhood topics, which Polly couldn't get involved in.
Just as Polly picked up her phone to check messages, Victor continued talking with Isabella while casually taking Polly's phone and placing it back on the table without even glancing at her.
