The Same Goal

"Wait..." Wendy took a deep breath and held it for one second before continuing, "Aren't you afraid that Yvonne might get angry?"

"Wendy Stewart, I meant everything that I said just now," replied Michael. He was still looking into her eyes, and his gaze was sincere and earnest.

Wendy felt like she was stuck on a rollercoaster.

Her heartbeat fluctuated dramatically. She thought, is Michael really telling me the truth?

Observing Wendy's state of bewilderment, Michael leaned in and quickly pecked Wendy's face as if he were possessed. Wendy instantly froze. She reached out to touch her burning cheeks, then looked up at Michael who appeared completely unbothered. Unable to think clearly for a moment, she thought, did Michael really just kiss me?
