Leo moved his hand from the lock, to her chin, ensuring she had her eyes on him. Carmin squinched her eyebrows showing that cute confused expression Leo loved so much. "Can...Can we just forget about the kiss, It's driving me crazy." Her forwardness was something Leo would never get tired of. "Piccolina, I like you." "What?" "I like you and you have to deal with it. No more hiding out. No more running away." "I-" "I kissed you for a reason and I'm not gonna pretend it didn't happen." Leo's eyes grew a bit darker. "You're not gonna pretend it didn't happen." Experience what happens when two clinically insane individuals fall in love.
