Bab 113: Slowly

Completely oblivious to the two pairs of eyes – silently screaming the word 'KISS' – that were surreptitiously glancing at them, Elle and Sebastian just held each other's gaze. Neither of them moved, nor looked away for an extended moment. It was as though the both of them had fallen into a spell and were frozen in time. 

Anyone who would be looking at them in that moment would think that they would definitely kiss, even with the silk fabric that was now covering Sebastian's lower face. But seconds ticked by and nothing happened and neither Sebastian nor Izabelle moved. 

Alexander, who was watching from the sidelines, began to grumble within his mind. 'Come on boy, kiss her already! What are you doing dragging your feet like this?!' He muttered wordlessly while Abi silently cheered like a reader rooting for her favorite ship to finally set sail. Her eyes were sparkling and it only made her already youthful face seem even younger looking.
