Evie felt a little off balance too, but this was her way of getting it back. She liked being in control of her own life, liked to keep things neat and orderly. Beautiful. Despite how much she’d flourished away from her mother, Evie still held high standards for herself when it came to her beauty and the way people saw her.
She knew Warren was attracted to her since he wanted to make out with her. Maybe it would be less awkward if they just got to it. So Evie tugged him closer and wrapped her arms around his neck as she looked into his eyes. She wasn’t sure what she was looking for, or honestly even if she found it, but she liked his eyes. That was enough for now. Evie leaned in to kiss him an it was more gentle than she’d planned, not anything like how aggressive she’d been before.
