Chapter 169 Back In Michael's Arms

• The kiss was so intense that it left me breathless. Everything around me started to blur—the voices, the people, even the forest. It felt like I was floating away, and I couldn’t focus on anything except Michael, who was staring at me like he was still mad but also something else I couldn’t quite place.
• "Don't think I'll let you off the hook just because you said some sweet things to me," Michael said, his voice low and rough.
• I leaned against him, my head resting on his solid chest. "I’m not going to run again," I promised, meaning every word.
