Eiden felt as if his entire body had gone numb.
Lyra was kissing him. On the lips. He couldn't process how or why it happened. One moment, they were watching the fireworks, and the next her lips were on his.
Before he could fully react, Lyra opened her eyes wide in realization and immediately pulled away. She sat up straight and hid her face behind the life-sized panda doll, hugging it tightly like a shield. Eiden couldn't even see a hint of her expression.
"What... what just happened?" Eiden blinked, utterly puzzled. "Whaaaaat?" his thoughts screamed. Why did she suddenly kiss him? Sure, he knew she had feelings for him. That much had become clearer over time. But judging from her usual shy, reserved demeanor, she wasn't supposed to be this bold. Not this sudden. Not this daring.
