Chapter 189: A Bite of Ren

Despite trying over and over to convince herself to stay calm and under control, Kestrel found things spiraling a bit out of her grip—maybe because the space around them was too tiny, and the smell in the air was overly sweet.

When they first met, Ren was calm and serious, but he quickly became all mixed up after Kestrel kissed him.

He looked so cute reacting this way. At this moment, Kestrel could practically hear the storm of thoughts inside his head:

"Where am I? What just happened? What should I do now?"

"How should I be reacting..."

"I think I might be losing it."

Later, Ren seemed to lose track of his thoughts, a blend of fantastic emotions lighting up like a swirling display of colors. Kestrel couldn't figure out what was going through his head, and likely he didn't know either, but one thing was sure: Kestrel knew he was experiencing joy.
