“That would be me,” Lucas said casually, raising his card with a nonchalant smile.

Bethany groaned theatrically. “Ugh! Why is it you two? This is so boring.”

After a pause, she added, “You can start—one-minute kiss.”

The sight of them—so striking together, their chemistry undeniable—held the room in momentary awe.

Only then did Belinda and Lucas end the kiss. Lucas tenderly wiped the corner of Belinda’s lips, his gaze warm and affectionate, his smile soft.
