"Let me show you how much I like you. And after that… you can give me your answer."
My lips trembled. My nerves went haywire. My brain? Replaced by a potato.
Has Ren always been like this?
So straightforward? So… heart-shatteringly intense???
"Emy?" he leaned closer — heat and mint on his breath — and panic locked me in place. He still had my hand in his grip, gentle but unbreakable.
"A-alright!" I squeaked. "Just—just drive already before we both die!"
Ren finally released me and leaned back with a small, satisfied smile.
"It's a promise then."
Great.
I just confirmed my doom.
By the time we arrived at Galaxy Studio, I wasn't sure if I still had a heartbeat or if Ren had stolen it entirely.
Left? Right? My own name? Nope. No memory files found.
Ren was about to step out of the car.
"Wait!" I yelped. "What are you doing?!"
He paused, confused. "Opening the door for you."
