Chapter 11: Is this love?

Hannah stared at the ceiling, the lingering heat of the near-kiss still burning in her cheeks. She expelled a shaky breath, the incident replaying in her mind. Almost. The thought echoed, a cruel reminder of what could have been. Her heart, a frantic drum against her ribs, mirrored the chaotic swirl of emotions within her. Grace's sudden retreat into the shower felt like a lifeline, a temporary reprieve from the electric tension that had crackled between them.Hannah slowly disentangled herself from the remnants of the evening, her mind racing.
