Daring kiss

«Do you trust me?» Nate asked.

Lara nodded, even though her face was crossed by a shadow.

«It's not that I don't trust you, Nate. I'm just... Not yet certain about myself. It's too soon, and...»

«I know, Lara. I'm not asking you to do anything you don't want. I will respect your will, and I agree about taking it slow. We were too hasty the first time, and it brought us apart for years. This time, we should build our relationship brick by brick. That's why I'm asking you whether you trust me about this. I will stop if you tell me to stop, and it won't make me feel rejected or sad. And I will also trust you to tell me right away, Lara.»

She blinked, realising that it was an important moment. She could say no and try another time. Nate said he wouldn't feel rejected... But was it true?
