Ethan’s was breath brushed against my ear and check. I had always been incredibly sensitive, and having someone whisper right next to my ear made me blush so hard that even my earste like they were on fire.
He wrapped his arms around me and lowered his head, brushing his lips against my cheek. His deep eyes seemed to hold a galaxy of stars, drawing me in with a magnetic force that made escape impossible. breath
As his thin lips inched closer to mine, 1 froze, as though I was under a spell Clutching his belt, 1 stood frozen in place and held my b There was no way my heart wouldn’t hurter when I encountered a man who had once left me utterly mesmerized.
I couldn’t forget him because, during my youth, 1 had met someone as amazing as him, and even after starting over, I couldn’t escape him. 1 felt as if I was caught in a love-stricken net, and before I knew it, I was completely ensnared.
I felt a flutter of anticipation as our lips were about to meet. Right then, the door behind us was flung open, startling me
“What are you two doing? Leah was back, her eyes filled with tears as she stared at us.
I hurriedly pulled away from his embrace and took a step back, loosening the belt in my hands. At that moment, I felt be a mistress caught in the act, and I was inexplicably
embaraazed
Leah’s intense gase seemed to burn right through me. My cheeks burned, and the air was thick with tension. I could bear it no longer and turned to flee from that suffocating space.
I was swept up by his tenderness and ended up falling into a bottomless pit. After what happened earlier in the day, I found it difficult to face Ethan and didn’t reply to his messages. Perhaps he was perceptive enough to realize that I wasn’t interested in talking, so he didn’t call.
A night fell, I tidied up a bit and was about to lose myself in a book when I received a call. Even though I had no idea why Leah was calling, I answered it patiently.
“I need to talk to you about something Cm we meet up? It’s quite urgent.”
This was the first time she had ever reached out to me on her own. I figured it was important to clear things up, so I agreed to meet her.
We met on the bridge at the agreed-upon time. The bridge was majestic, and one could almost feel the pulse of the entire city on it. The constant flow of traffic and the ebb and llow at people captured the city’s ceaseless rhythm.
It delt as though everyone was moving at double speed. I watched the bustling crowd below in silence until heard the sound of crisp footsteps approaching from beside me. “Evelyn, there’s something I need to tell you” Leah looked at me with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
“I’d prefer if you stayed away from him. He’s been injured because of you, so I hope your
two can keep your distance. I don’t want you to spread more misfortune to others.”
If this was all she had to tell me, I elt like I had definitelywasted my time coming here. I’d rather read a book than listen to her nonsense.
I was just about to leave when she suddenly broke into a smile. “But don’t worry. I’ll take good care of him from now on Grandpa Grayson and I have already talked about it.”
Icaised my head, curious about what she would tell me next. Yet, I noticed she was beaming like a child who had just gotten the lollipop they had been eyeing in the store window. “Grandpa Grayson wants us to get engaged You’ll come to our engagement ceremony and give us your blessings, won’t you?”
