Chapter 99: CHAPTER 99

KIERAN 

I hadn't expected the kiss to happen at all. 

One moment we were both tangled in what had to be the most difficult conversation of our lives, the tension between us almost visible.

And the next moment found me locking lips with her as I could not stay away any longer.

I knew I had to do it. The desire to taste her had been burning in me since I stepped into the room and laid my eyes on her, seeing her that she was awake and alive. 

But all I saw in her eyes was anger, so I kept my distance and tried to explain. When she started talking though, I was relieved to see a crack in her demeanor.

She was mad at me, but what made her madder was the fact that no matter how foolish my decisions were, she would still love me and be there for me.

And just like that, I knew I had to fix what I had broken. I just had to do it. I had tried to push them away, to distance myself from them but all my actions did was cause a mess.
