Something passed between us—something electric and far more intimate than what we’d just done. The way our eyes locked on each other, it was like the moment was suspended in space. Stretching in time. Sebastian’s smile faltered, and I watched as his walls came back up. His eyes drifted from mine, and he cleared his throat. “Well, I’m glad you’re liking me so far,” he said lightly, but the warmth from moments ago was gone. He sat up. “Do you want to eat anything?” I watched him walk to the bathroom, regret twisting in my chest. “Sure, Ash.”
