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.

Couples were dancing and kissing all around them.

Perhaps it was the cover of darkness that masked her discomfort and shyness.

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

In the end, Agnes stopped resisting, even forgetting to push him away.

She even began to enjoy it.

Jared still smelled as familiar as ever.

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