The summer was still fresh in his mind. He could still remember the explorations on Jeju island, and all that had come with it. He believed that it was something they had always been building towards. They just had been extremely cautious in stepping forward. But they were both brave spirits, unconquerable as they were. Flames that could not be extinguished. His fire was bursting in his gut, leaving him in puffs of warm laughter that burst through his nerve endings. âObviously.â Carefully, he bumped shoulders with her. âWhat do you think about this whole deal, huh? Pretty exciting?â
It started tender, and slow. It was one thing to create a spark -- quick and glimmering like her sharp laugh -- but she had allowed the glow to consume her. The summer had been warm and exploratory, both the Island and each other. She matched his laughter with an amused twinkle, but took to feigning disinterest instead. âDonât tell Vic, but Carrow is my new best friend. Koldovstoretz sticks together, you know.â Anna reciprocated the bump, a playful nudge before tipping her head in mock consideration. âI guess Iâm stuck with you for another year, after all. Youâre just going to have to suck it up.â
