A soft knock on the car window broke the spell, interrupting their kiss. Lily and Ethan, their hearts still racing, pressed their foreheads together, taking a moment to catch their breath.

Lily let out a light chuckle as the situation sank in. She couldn’t help but laugh at how easily Ethan could make her lose control of herself. Hearing her laugh, Ethan tilted his head and asked, “What’s so funny?”

Shaking her head with a warm smile, she replied, “Nothing. I just love you, Ethan. I love you more than anything in this world.”

Her heartfelt confession brought a soft smile to Ethan’s face, but before she could say anything more, he leaned in again, capturing her lips in another deep, tender kiss.

Outside the car, Mia stood waiting, her arms crossed. She tapped her foot impatiently, frowning as she glanced at her watch. She could only imagine what the couple was up to. Fortunately, the car windows were heavily tinted, sparing them from prying eyes in the bustling area. Mia sighed, knowing full well what kind of attention they’d attract if anyone saw them like this.

Realizing time was ticking, Mia knocked again, this time a little more firmly. Inside the car, Lily gently pushed Ethan away, her breath coming in short, uneven gasps.

“Be careful,” Ethan murmured, his voice low and husky. He pressed a lingering kiss to her forehead.

Lily nodded, her cheeks flushed with warmth. With a quick peck on his lips, she opened the door and stepped out, her face still glowing with a rosy blush.

As Ethan’s car pulled away, she turned to Mia, a smile lighting up her face. “Sister Mia!” she greeted warmly.

-Mia raised a curious eyebrow at her. Noticing the slight panic in Lily’s eyes, she couldn’t help but smirk.

“Sister Mia, do I look okay?” Lily asked nervously, patting her face as though searching for any telltale signs of what had just happened.

Mia shook her head, teasing, “You look perfectly fine. Like a blushing bride.”

Lily exhaled in relief, grateful for the light makeup she’d applied. It had saved her from looking too flustered, and she silently thanked her foresight. “That’s good,” she muttered, more to herself than to Mia.
