Evelyn’s POV
I can’t move as Kane’s face comes closer, completely frozen in place as my heart wildly pounds in my chest. I’m sure he can sense it, but he’s not deterred.
Somehow everything seems to slow down despite how my mind moves at one hundred miles per hour. I’m stuck in a spin, so caught off guard that Kane wants to kiss me.
And even more caught off guard that I haven’t pulled away. That I haven’t stopped him.
Maybe it’s the wine we had or I’m still caught up in our conversations that weren’t just civil but even…lovely. As I replay it in my head, I realize we’d managed to go a full hour without arguing - a new record.
Or maybe…maybe I’ve completely just lost my mind.
Because even as I feel Kane’s breath brush against my lips, I don’t pull away. Something in me is stupidly
