For a moment, the world disappeared. The lake around them shimmered beneath the afternoon sun as Rafael's hand remained around Aria's wrist.
The distance between them had vanished completely.Aria could hear his breathing.Rafael could see every tiny detail in her eyes.
The moment stretched beautifully.They stood impossibly close with their eyes locked and their lips were about to touch.
Then a loud crack of thunder shattered everything. Both of them startled.Dark clouds rolled across the sky with alarming speed.
Within seconds, rain began falling.
The peaceful afternoon vanished beneath a curtain of rain. Aria stepped back immediately. Rafael released her hand.
Neither of them knew what to say.
Because both of them knew exactly what had almost happened again.
And this time neither of them could blame alcohol.
"Run!"
