Tara Summer pushed the door further open again, leaning her whole body in, and then reached out.
Originally, she wanted to touch his back, but then thought it wasn't much of a "surprise." So, she pulled back her hand, inching step by step towards him, preparing to stand on her tiptoes to cover his eyes. Only when she was a step away did she realize she couldn't reach, causing her to pause slightly.
Just at that moment of her hesitation, she suddenly heard him give a low hiss, he swiftly spun around, grabbed her wrist, and forcefully yanked her over.
"Ah—" Tara Summer was caught off guard, completely unable to react. By the time she snapped back to reality, she was already pulled into his embrace, "Scared me to death, you are so annoying!"
Startled, she screamed, babbling and pounding his shoulders with her fists.
"Still can't catch you..." Liam Yancey bent down, his handsome face nearing hers. As Tara Summer blankly lifted her head, he gently kissed her forehead.
