Chapter 32: I Love You Too

Sharon’s POV

I stood frozen, my mind racing in a thousand directions. Did Douglas really just kiss me? My skin still tingled from the warmth of his lips on my forehead. The world around me blurred, like a movie I couldn’t focus on, while the weight of what had just happened pressed down on my chest. How did I end up here? And more importantly, why did Douglas kiss me? There had to be more to this than just a kiss. It couldn’t be that he liked me, could it?

But the thought wouldn’t go away. Why did he defend me in front of everyone? He didn’t need to say we’d spent the night together. There were so many other ways he could’ve helped me, but he chose that one. He made it personal as if I was more to him than a teammate or a colleague. Was it possible?
