Matteo
I say fuck it. Do it.
Jade
Yeah?
Matteo
If they both want it and they’re holding back, let them have that moment. Time’s suspended. They both stare back at one another. The air is electric.
Jade
He closes the distance between the two of them.
Matteo
Her head tilts back, her lips parting as a soft breath escapes her.
Jade
She says his name softly—questioning—wanting.
Matteo
He lifts his hand to cup the side of her face. He asks her if this is what she wants, because it’s all he can think about.
Jade
She tells him she feels the same way, but they shouldn’t.
Matteo
And he kisses her instead.
Jade
Holy shit.
Matteo
Yeah, lol. Didn’t think I had it in me, did you?
Jade
I’m genuinely shocked.
Matteo
You gonna bring me on as your co-writer?
Jade
You’re good, but not that good.
Stick to hockey.
Matteo
