Willow reached out and brushed her hand past her lips. That wasn’t just a touch, was it?
“Do you still need proof?” Jasper’s raspy voice sounded.
It was only then that she was pulled back from her thoughts. The fact that he had kissed her was proof that he did not dislike her, and this realization caused her face to flush red as she bit her lips in embarrassment. However, she felt that the kiss had ended too quickly, so much so that she barely had the time to enjoy it.
“Is it supposed to be that quick?” she mumbled, clutching her face.
Faced with her words, the man was rendered speechless while she awkwardly whipped her head away. Just then, the light from the torch vanished out of the blue, plunging them into complete darkness.
“Oh no! Don’t tell me the torch is out of batteries!” she yelped, pouncing into Jasper’s arms.
“They probably forgot to charge it.” He wrapped her in his embrace cooperatively as she buried herself in his arms, terrified to be trapped in an ancient tomb without any light.
Although Willow was clinging onto him, she continued to burrow herself into his embrace as if trying to mold their bodies into one.
“Don’t be scared. It’s safe here.” Jasper lowered his head to look at her. At the same time, Willow raised her head, and the distance between their faces minimized.
The two froze for a few seconds, and she could feel his lips at the corner of hers. However, as if struck by lightning, they quickly turned their heads away from each other.
