When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

As soon as our gazes met, I looked away subconsciously and awkwardly. But yet, I could feel his eyes lingering all over me.

After a long torment that lasted a few seconds, he squinted and withdrew his gaze before he left.

I wondered if he had seen through me, or was he just jealous?
