Looking at Maggie’s soft eyes, Sanford was certain his words had resonated with her.
His eyes lingered on her red lips, and his eyes became deeper and deeper.
He yearned for the familiar sweetness of her lips.
He wished for a fresh start with her.
Sanford gently held Maggie’s chin, tilting his head down gradually.
Engulfed in a surreal haze, Maggie was lost in the mesmerizing depths of Sanford’s eyes. The breaths they shared entwined and
danced in the space between them, teasing her senses.
Her lids grew heavy, drawn into a magnetic surrender, while her mind swirled in a delicious chaos of thoughts and emotions. Her
heart, playing the timid captain, stood helpless against the alluring storm.
The rude intrusion of the doorbell, however, cleaved through the serene silence.
The spell shattered, ripping Sanford and Maggie back to reality.
Maggie’s eyes sprung open as she recoiled, hastily pushing Sanford away. Heat rose to her ears in a telling blush.

flame.

Sanford could only watch as Maggie distanced herself. His brow furrowed as he wondered about the ungodly timing of their
visitor.
Who would dare disturb them so early?
