Kiara's eyes widened.
For one brief moment, she was too shocked to react. Her arms loosened instinctively, and Scarlett immediately took advantage of it, pulling away and scrambling out of her grasp.
"You…" Kiara stared at her, completely stunned. "Are you crazy?"
She quickly wiped her lips with the back of her hand, as though trying to remove all evidence of what had just happened.
Scarlett did the same, although her heart was beating so fast that she could barely think straight. She had acted on impulse, and now that the moment had passed, she was beginning to understand exactly what she had done.
"I can't believe I just kissed someone other than my future husband," she complained, covering her face briefly with one hand. "And not just someone, but another woman! Ugh, now I'm never going to get this out of my head!"
Kiara's shock quickly gave way to indignation.
"Hey! That's my husband you're talking about!"
Scarlett lowered her hand and stared at her.
