The guests would be arriving soon，so Claire dismissed Tony for the rest of the night. At that moment，Tony took her in his arms ，bringing his face close to hers. She heard him declare that he did not want to leave her the next day，and that he felt more than just the desire to please her. (23) Then the front door bell rang.
