Once Charles was out of sight, Katherine finally got pulled from her daze, and she sucked in a breath as she placed her hand over her forehead. Her face instantly felt hot from the rush of emotions that completely flooded her, and her eyes even began to feel watery.
Not wanting to wake Mark up or be seen by anyone who might still be awake, she slunk into her room and immediately dropped down to the floor where she held her knees tightly against her body. "What was that?" she said out loud to no one in particular.
The first emotion that hit her was shock. She was in shock because she had no idea that Charles could elicit such a strong reaction from her. At that moment she thought he was going to lean in to kiss her, it was as if her entire mind and body had shut down.
