“You leaned your forehead against mine and grazed the tip of my nose with yours as your lips moved toward mine. Before you kissed me, those hazel eyes locked with mine and lingered there, as if to convey what your words could not. The harsh edges of your narrow eyes softened. You looked at me like I was the most valuable treasure in the world, a look made me feel you were afraid of losing me. This didn’t happen often, but it always surprised me, a little like you. All I could do was kiss you back, inhaling slowly as I pressed my lips against yours. I still can’t explain the warmth that touched my heart when your eyes caught mine or the fluttering in my stomach when your lips finally met mine.”
