I was completely taken aback—he kissed me. He actually kissed me, and I didn’t even try to stop him. My mind raced with confusion and surprise. It felt like I should push him away right now, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Why? Why did his kiss send shivers down my spine, igniting something deep within me, even though I barely knew him? It was as if a switch had flipped, and every doubt, every hesitation, melted away.
