Chapter 27 Lance

• There's something... different... with Chiara today.
• It broke my heart to hear her answer at first, and then it was thrilling when she took it back and finally agreed to go on a date with me. After all, who wouldn't want to spend quality time with their mate? However, as the day progressed, something felt off with how Chiara behaved.
• After our roller coaster ride, I helped her down the wagon. I had to grab her waist to secure my hold on her. I was fully expecting her to let go immediately when her feet touched the ground because while I was craving every moment of her touch, I knew she had boundaries and reservations. To my delight and a bit of confusion, her hands lingered on my shoulders for much longer.
