As I was poking fun at Karen, I suddenly felt someone looking at me rudely. I turned around to see James' ex-girlfriend, Rachel Sullivan, staring indifferently at our clasped hands.

Rachel was wearing a cute sweatshirt with cat ears and a short red skirt that made her legs look long and straight. She came over and greeted James nicely, who nodded to her nonchalantly before continuing to talk to me.
"Do you want ice cream? I remember you can have it these days. Let's get two scoops in a cup and eat them together, okay?"
James' gaze fell on the ice cream truck in the distance, wanting to buy one. I was just about to nod when I heard a sweet voice of a girl.
Rachel asked, "James, are you dating Ellie?"
Without hesitation, James lifted our clasped hands up and waved them in front of Rachel. "Yes."
Then, he said emphatically, "Rachel, we were broken up, so don't be so close to me."
Rachel pursed her lips. "I didn't expect you guys got together finally. James, you said clearly before that you would never be in a relationship with Ellie."
James frowned slightly, "We're not in a relationship."
