Caroline looked up and saw Kirk coming out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around

Kirk approached her and sat down on the bed, which dipped under his weight. His movements

made Caroline’s heart pound, and her face turned crimson.

Kirk pulled her into his arms, asking, “How do you plan to make it up to me?”
