I thought about leaning in to kiss her, but I knew it was a crazy idea. My stomach fluttered when I saw her glance at my lips, as well.
I made up my mind and slowly leaned in to kiss her.
“Did you see that jackass?!” John practically screamed in my ear and broke the trance I was in.
“Yeah, I did.” I faced him and said it a little more rudely than I intended. He was so drunk that he didn’t notice. When I looked back at Veronica, she was watching the game again. Her trance—our trance, was definitely over.
