*Olivia*
As Alexander and | stared at each other, an electric current passed between us. The intense expression in his
dark eyes made my legs shake.
For a long time, we just stood there and stared at each other. Memories from our complicated past ran through

the kitchen’s delicious cooking to go to waste.”
“No, uh, we can’t have that,” | said, my voice shaking. | was too nervous to be embarrassed of how high-pitched
my voice sounded.
Quick as a flash, Alexander spun my body around until | was pressed against his front, and we were staring at

Alexander cupped my face with his warm hands, closed his eyes, and leaned down to kiss me.
Every thought flew out of my head as | allowed my eyes to flutter close. All | could think about was having his
soft yet strong lips back on mine. But just before his mouth could meet mine, | cto my senses. It was like a
