Chapter 13 He Kisses Her

“Who is it?” Because it was late at night, she did not dare to open the door but asked in a deep voice. No one answered outside, but the knocking was incessant. She panicked but kept her breath steady.

The rapping on the door continued for a few more beats before a low, suppressed yell came. “Kisa Becker!”
