I opened the chapter thinking, "Oh how cute, they’re on a vacation, maybe we’ll get a sweet moment or two."
But no.
They said, “Let’s give them everything they’ve been waiting for—and then some.”
Them alone in that cozy room? The lighting? The tension?? I knew something was about to go down. But I still wasn’t ready. I was literally sitting there whispering “No way no way no way” like I wasn’t grinning like an idiot.
Then… the kiss.



After all the emotional manipulation, arrogance, and refusal to truly listen, that moment felt like a long-overdue wake-up call. Sometimes words fail, and consequences have to sting for the lesson to finally sink in. You u don’t get to hurt someone repeatedly and walk away untouched. That slap was earned.
