Her eyes darted around feeling mortified and avoiding to meet Sthena's gaze. She couldn't believe what she had just done. Without a word, she turned and fled, her face burning with embarrassment.
She dashed through the hallway, her heart racing as she sought the refuge of her room. She leaned against the door, trying to catch her breath and willing herself to disappear.

Perdita buried her face in her hands, her mind replaying the kiss in slow motion. She groaned, mortified. Why, oh why, had she let her impulses get the better of her?!
