With a mix of embarrassment and distress, Claudia bit her Lip.

Looking at the red tip of her nose, Bennett felt remorseful for teasing her when he was drunk. “I'm sorry."

Gently, he leaned forward and placed a kiss on her eye, leading Claudia to close her eyes instinctively.

Feeling the warmth of his lips on her eyelid, she experienced a slight shiver.

Bennett embraced her firmly, saying, “I've had too much to drink. I'm not making much sense."
