He was lying on his side, facing her, his eyes open and locked onto hers. Emily froze, her breath caught in her throat. Their eyes met in the dim silence, and she felt something in his gaze…something that told her to stay, not to run, something magnetic that held her in place. She did not move. He did not move. Their eyes remained locked, only inches apart, as though the rest of the world had vanished.

And he, in turn, seemed to find something in her gaze that eased him, something that made him linger in this fragile moment.

The faint scent of popcorn lingers, a reminder of our shared snack. As I steal a glance at him through my long lashes, his captivating gaze meets mine. His chiselled features and piercing eyes make my heart skip a beat. Though he appears engrossed in the movie, I can sense his lingering gaze fixed upon me. A surge of anticipation courses through me as I contemplate a daring move. “Just do it, Renna,” I whisper to myself, my voice barely audible amidst the cinematic soundtrack.

That said I’m wondering how you sound when you moan. She was startled by how warm her body went. Her pulse quickened. Her legs crossed automatically. She smiled, polite, and looked away, but the image of his lips stayed.

I have a high definition memory of exactly what that looks like and my brain is helpfully supplying it in real time. I look away immediately. Back to my phone. Pretend to scroll. Feel my face get hot. Two minutes later I look again. I can’t help it. My eyes move there like they’ve been magnetized and I stare for probably three full seconds before I catch myself and drag my gaze back to my screen. Edmund says nothing.
