Continuing with the romance...
Of course, Lola Hussey was thinking about the romantic moment that had been interrupted by her brother's phone call just before...
She hesitated for a moment, then mustered the courage to boldly ask, "This time, can I kiss you?"
As the words fell,
Ethan Ainsley's expression showed a moment of surprise.
But soon, his deep eyes gazed at her, "Lola, are you serious?"
Was there a question of being serious or not?
She was certainly serious!
She nodded, "Mhm, serious."
Ethan Ainsley didn't speak further, and moved his face closer to hers, their breaths mingling. Lola could smell the faint scent of fruitwood again.
"You, close your eyes," she courageously said.
Close his eyes...
Ethan suddenly recalled their conversation that day in the car.
He had asked her why people closed their eyes while kissing, and she said it's because eating people is scary.
