Just as Moira thought Barclay was going to kiss her, the warm breath suddenly disappeared.

Moira instinctively opened her eyes and found herself locked in his gaze.

Barclay had already retreated a bit, looking at her with a smile. “You’re right. It might not be appropriate.”

Startled, Moira hurriedly denied. “No, I’m not, I didn’t, I wouldn’t!”

Barclay smiled at her with a meaningful gaze. “Alright then.”
