LIORA'S POV;
As I walked into Ronan’s kitchen, I couldn’t ignore the tension in the air. It felt like it was humming between us. Why the hell do I have to behave like a teenager towards him yesterday, I totally distance myself from him, leaving him to the mercy of my friend Emelia, who was obviously flirting with him.
"Are you hungry? You could try one of these," I offered, pulling out a spring roll. My voice was steady, but inside, I was anything but. It will go well with coffee, especially when you are about going to the office.
Ronan moved closer, his presence filling the space beside me. He reached for the spring roll, and when our fingers brushed, it was like a spark—brief, but enough to send a shiver down my spine.
"You didn’t have to go through all this trouble, Liora," he said, his voice softer now, the usual playful edge replaced by something deeper.
