"Melora?" Duncan looked briefly incredulous. "No way. No way ever. She's my cousin. Okay, not technically, but still, no, and she'd say the same. And Hope..." He shrugged. He'd had a bit of a crush on Hope for a while, yes, hard not to, Hope was stunning on many levels. "...isn't you. I just, I can't resist you, ever."
That was really the clincher, for him. Ann had broken up with him months ago because there wasn't any spark, even if they'd both wanted there to be. Whereas whenever he was with Zelda, it went beyond spark, she was constant fireworks. He'd always known that. Whether she was trying to annoy him or teasing him or being serious, whatever she was doing, he ended up going along with it just for the fireworks.
And now it seemed the fireworks were a mutual thing. And her face was on a level with his. That was irresistible.
"Completely crazy about you," Duncan said yet again, because now that he'd admitted it he couldn't seem to stop admitting it, and moved the few inches forward to kiss her.
