Chapter 33 It's Not Too Soon

• Naomi felt her cheeks flush. William already knew the answer, so he didn't need to ask again. In an instant, the atmosphere between them shifted dramatically. The tension and negative emotions that had filled the air moments before were replaced by a warm connection flowing between them.
• Naomi lowered her head, her long hair partially covering her face as she tried to hide her mixed feelings. Her heart raced, not just from the kiss, but also from the realization of the impulsive action she had just taken. She had never imagined she would be bold enough to do that, especially with William, the man who had always been a source of confusion for her.
