Hearing him bluntly say âwanted to kiss you,â Ellinor's cheeks flushed slightly, but her annoyance did
Since it had come to that, she decided to lay it all out.
âTheo Blanchet!â It was rare for Ellinor to call out his full name.
Typically, she only did this when things got serious, to which Theo immediately responded,
