Lilli stared up at Max, her heart beating rapidly.

With a frown, he lowered his head and pressed his lips against hers. She rested her palms on his chest and sank into the kiss, falling for Max a little harder. But just as she slid her hands to his shoulders, he pulled away.

“Not a good idea,” he said, his voice low, clipped. “I should go before I do something stupid.”

“Like kiss me again?”

“You could be.”

He stepped back. “I need to go.” He opened the door and slipped away before she could think of any words to stop him.

She leaned her forehead against the cool door, eyes closed. Did he regret coming here tonight? Kissing her? Did he want more between them, or would he always blame her for a past she couldn’t change?
