The cafeteria buzzed with anticipation, and the confrontation teetered on the brink of violence. It was then that Jackson, sensed the impending chaos and rushed to her side.
"Nancy, come on," he pleaded, gently taking her arm. "This isn't the place for this."
Nancy, still fuming and unwilling to back down, pulled away from Jackson's grasp. "No, I won't just stand here and let them insult me."
Jackson sighed, his eyes filled with concern. "I know, but reacting like this won't help. Let's go outside and talk it out."
Nancy's initial refusal was met with a firm but tender resolve from Jackson. Without warning, he leaned in and planted a soft, lingering kiss on her lips. The cafeteria fell silent as they locked eyes, the world around them momentarily forgotten.
After a few seconds, Nancy reluctantly pulled away, her anger slowly dissipating. She looked at Jackson, her heart softened by his affectionate gesture. "Okay, let's go outside."
