freeze at once. Allison stood there and did not know what to do for a moment. She did not even know where to look. She sometimes looked at the tip of her toes and sometimes glimpsed at Alexander. Alexander had worn a set of grayish-white sport clothes. He looked composed but sporty, and looked friendlier compared to the look he had in the suit he wore during the day.
