"This was one of the memories of Tista that I wanted to replace."
Tuan whispered in Katalina's ears. The latter wanted to pull away from the guy who took advantage of the moment. But for some reason, her body didn't agree with her thought process. It wanted to be embraced by him just the way it was being embraced at the time.
Tuan ran his hands across Katalina's back as he pulled his neck away from her and looked her in the eyes. He could see that she was confused, a bit angry, and her desire to repay Tuan's gratitude was diminishing.
Tuan knew the hesitation would only make her pull away from him. He needed to end her hesitation by taking matters into his own hands. And that's what he did next.
