"Sweetie, I was completely sober, and I knew exactly what I was doing. Honestly, I've known how I felt about you for a long time. I just kept it buried. But last night, when you called over that male escort and leaned into his arms, I couldn't take it anymore," Quentin said.

Naomi looked at him, utterly stunned.

"Y-You've liked me for a while now?"

Quentin let out a quiet laugh and leaned down to kiss her again. "That's alright. We can grow into it together."
