                By the time Drea showered and dressed for her date with Shun, she felt a little nervous about going out with him. It was a feeling that washed over her quickly as she stepped into her new shoes.

She didn’t have to worry about keeping a façade up around him because they at least knew enough about each other to have good conversation. And there was that kiss. The thought of his lips against hers sent chills down her spine.
