In Her Words

chapter 6

Alice's POV :

The kiss, brief and electrifying, was still

lingering in my thoughts. Adele's lips had

barely brushed against mine, but the

impact was undeniable. It felt as though

focus. "That's nice to hear. Adele's been

great to work with."

Jamie leaned in slightly, his tone
