Kate couldn't stop thinking about what had just happened to Lucas. The kiss, the heat, the intensity - all of it was real, but also incredibly wrong. She squeezed her eyes shut and took a deep breath.
From the first day she met Lucy at the institute, the blonde, vivacious girl had become a ray of sunshine in her life. Lucy was the type who could turn any situation into something fun. Their friendship grew fast and strong from day one. Lucy was the first person Kate turned to when she needed advice or comfort.
"And now? How did I ruin everything so quickly?" Kate muttered to herself, wrapping her arms around herself.
She knew Lucy had feelings for Lucas. For months, Lucy had spoken of him with a special sparkle in her eyes. Although things between them had never developed into something solid, the romantic interest was much more than clear. Kate shouldn't have crossed that line. And even worse: she felt she couldn't ignore what she had felt in the kiss.
