Heartstrings On Fire

Chapter 717

Agnes had just about given up by the end of it all.

She was twirling in rhythm with Jared’s movements.

Music seemed to be wafting around their ears.

Or maybe it was the fact that everyone else was kissing, that not participating would make her the odd one out.

His scent was clean and sharp, like an infoxicating whiff of fresh lavender.
