After sharing that kiss, Valra's mind went completely blank. Her heart still raced wildly, as if it hadn't yet caught up with what had just happened.
Everything had happened so fast and so... captivating, so utterly intoxicating, that for a moment she could barely form a single thought.
Her lips still tingled from the brief contact, her breath felt uneven, and the warmth of him still lingered like an invisible thread pulling her closer.
It wasn't just her. Leo, too, seemed to be processing what had just happened.
This was his first time kissing a girl... Well, his first real kiss given of his own will.
His gaze flickered toward her, then away again, as if holding her eyes too long might set something in motion that he wasn't ready for.
For a brief second, the air between them felt heavy with unspoken thoughts, but Leo cleared his throat. "So… uh," he began, voice a little awkward but steady enough to hide the rush beneath it.
"You… feeling okay?"
