Chapter 36

• Gwen's POV
• As our lips met in a delicate and delicate kiss, a hurricane of feelings moved throughout me. It was a surprising second, an impact of sentiments that had been fermenting underneath the surface. For a heartbeat, it seemed like time stopped, and I lost myself in the inebriating warmth of his touch.
• However, as we pulled separated, reality crashed downward on me, and shock and shame overwhelmed my faculties. I immediately dismissed, my cheeks flushed dark red, and a mind-boggling feeling of disappointment washed over me. I shouldn't have done that. What was I thinking? My psyche dashed with 100 inquiries and questions, and I felt a pressing need to get away from the circumstance.
