It took Thalassa a couple of seconds to recover from the shock of Clark’s unexpected kiss. When she finally did, she braced her palms against his chest and pushed him back as gently but firmly as she could.

“Clark, what are you doing?”

“I’m sorry, I just had to. I’ve been dying to do that since we net again.” Clark said, but his expression was far from apologetic. “Isn’t it obvious that I still have feelings for you? I’m sure it’s written all over my face every time I’m with you because that’s just how much you affect me.”

“Clark…” Thalassa tried to say, but he cut her off.

“I wish I hadn’t stepped away when you told me you wanted to be with Kris. I genuinely thought you were going to be happy with him. If I’d known he would only make you suffer, I would have never let him have you.”

Thalassa pursed her lips into a grim line. “That wouldn’t have been up to you to decide.”

“Yes,” Clark nodded in agreement. “But I wouldn’t have stopped fighting for your love. That’s what I mean.”

He stepped closer to her, taking her face between his hands. “But now that I’m back, please give me a chance to give you the happiness Kris never could. Because I know that I can.”

Seeing the hope mixed with fear in his eyes, Thalassa felt conflicted, thinking of the best way to make things clear without hurting him, especially after how he had risked his life for her when she was attacked.
