At one point, he reached over to steal a piece of popcorn from the bag | was holding, and | swatted his hand
playfully. "Hey! Get your own snacks."

The kiss was soft and tentative at first, but it sent a warmth spreading throughthat | hadn't expected. Tim
pulled back just slightly, his nose brushing against mine as he whispered, "Was that okay?"
| nodded, unable to hide the small smile that tugged at my lips. "Yeah. That was... nice."
He chuckled, his hand brushing a stray piece of hair from my face. "Good. Because | liked that too."
