A tear rolled out of Anna's eye. Joel wiped it with his hand. His touch felt warm.
"Don’t," she fixed her gaze on the ground.
"Look at me, Anna. Please," he said softly.
She shook her head in disagreement.
Joel palmed her face and gently pulled it up to face him. Anna didn't want to look at him so she closed her eyes. She squeezed her eyes hard but felt a warm breath, partly on her nose and partly on her lips.
She opened her eyes in shock and saw Joel leaning towards you. His eyes were closed too. She froze.
His plump lips gently touched hers and she stood still with her eyes wide open. He slowly parted away and opened his eyes. The two were communicating with their eyes.
A tear formed in the corner of Joel’s eyes. It appeared as if he was apologizing for everything. Anna suddenly felt the urge to hold him tight. She cupped his face, brought it closer to hers, and placed her lips on his. To which Joel responded immediately. He grabbed her waist and pulled her closer.
