章 55: Loving boyfriend

Alyssa bumped Zoe with her shoulder.

"We're taking things slow. You know what that means, right?" Alyssa teased.

Zoe was the type to go, go, go. She knew what she wanted, and she didn't stop until she got it. Alyssa wanted to be like that in some instances.

In others, especially circumstances that she wasn't used to or didn't want to mess up, she was going to take a slower approach. It was safer. She hadn't fully abandoned her cautious mindset yet.

Zoe playfully rolled her eyes at Alyssa.

"Yeah, yeah. Love doesn't know time, though, and it refuses to be silenced," she replied.

That was oddly philosophical of Zoe to say. She did have a point, though. Alyssa and Elias could go as slow as they wanted to physically, but they had no control over their feelings and how quickly they developed.

She just hoped hers didn't outpace Elias' feelings that much. She wanted them to be on the same page.
