"How-Huh—What?" Eve gasped. She reread the message over and over again. Mathematical formulas materialized around her head. They had been talking about the kiss—the kiss that came out of nowhere and why it happened…

'That had to be what he meant, right?' She asked herself. The question was seeking for consent on this new part of their agreement. The kiss earlier was a test on her part. It was to see how she'd react if it came suddenly like certain situations required.
A test she clearly failed… Eve groaned and fell on her back.

.
``Yan: Of course.``
