THE GENESIS OF LOVE

Chapter 55 - The Genesis of Love

"I'm scared of love. You're my first love. I've never said this to anyone, not even my mom."

Olivia offered a forced smile that masked her true emotions, seemingly content with McCarthy's words. They settled down to await the person's arrival, but hours passed with no sign of her.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the sky transformed into a mesmerizing display of colors. Hand-in-hand, they strolled along the riverbank, immersed in each other's presence. Soon, the rain began to fall.

"This is truly magical," Olivia exclaimed, her eyes glistening with delight. "Shouldn't we seek shelter in the tent and wait for her?" Taking the lead, she gently tugged McCarthy along.

"There she is!" McCarthy exclaimed, prompting Olivia to turn and see.

He kissed her passionately on the lips, their embrace unyielding for what felt like an eternity.
