Her words were a meteorite, crashing into Seth Sinclair's heart with unstoppable force.
BANG!
The violent impact left a huge crater in his heart. The momentum of the collision then sparked an unquenchable flame.
When she had confessed her feelings for Ethan Sinclair, she had said, "I like him."
He'd thought that was powerful enough, but "I like you" was clearly far more potent.
At that moment, the usually silver-tongued Seth Sinclair was suddenly rendered speechless. He held her even tighter, as if trying to fuse her into his very being.
They were pressed so tightly together that Lianne could clearly hear his strong, powerful heartbeat.
The frantic thumping of his heart, just like during their first embrace, sent out ripple after ripple that enveloped her completely, leaving her nowhere to run.
They were both emotionally reserved people, not particularly attuned to the world, yet they always managed to ignite an inferno in one another.
