The Truth Unveiled

Lara laughed and left Stella to join Steve in his car. As she walked towards him, Steve got out of his car to open the front door for her. After she got in, he closed the door and started the engine, driving them towards Lara’s home. Throughout the drive, Steve couldn’t help stealing glances at Lara. She playfully hit his head when she noticed his continuous stares.

“If you keep staring at me while driving, you’re going to get us killed,” Lara teased.

Steve smiled and replied, “Have I ever told you that you’re the reason I enjoy coming to school now?”

“Stop pulling my leg. I bet you’ve said that to all the girls,” Lara retorted.

“Well, yes, I have. But never have I meant it as much as I do with you. Your beauty is breathtaking, and seeing you every day brings comfort to my soul,” Steve confessed sincerely.

As Lara read his thoughts, she couldn’t find any indication of him wanting to kiss her.
