Not one to hide her amusement, Chloe smirked and teased, "Did you go and break spoor girl's heart?" Connor's gaze bore into her, icy and intense, like a fltrapped in frost, ready to ignite at any moment. Chloe remained unbothered, her demeanor relaxed and casual.

She walked over to Connor, handed him the glass, and chided, "I don't know if you are genuinely clueless or just playing dumb, but Diana's been into you for ages. It takes guts for a girl to lay her heart on the line, only to have it stomped on." Connor took the glass but didn't drink. His expression was still grim. "So, you think I should accept her feelings?" Chloe saw right through him. He'd cto see how she'd react, but he was sorely disappointed. Chloe showed no signs of jealousy, just a laid-back indifference and even a bit of sympathy for Diana. If anything, her strongest reaction was curiosity. How detached must she be to treat Diana's confession like juicy gossip? Clinking her glass against his, Chloe took a sip and turned away leisurely. "Don't chere with your . I have no hopes or expectations. Whether you accept her or not is your business, not mine. I'm just curious, that's all." She wandered back to the balcony, sipping her wine and taking in the view. Connor watched her, lounging and carefree, then suddenly downed his wine in one gulp. He strode over to her, and before she knew it, spun her around, one hand gripping her waist and the other cupping her head.
He kissed her fiercely. Chloe felt her feet lift off the ground as he pressed her back against the wall. Connor seemed to lose control, passionately drawing her breath into him. The familiar kiss, the familiar dominance, mingled with the rich scent of wine, spread wildly between their lips.
Chloe rolled her eyes at the night sky, but this time, she didn't push him away. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck, responding to his kiss.

He missed her too much, and any hint of passion from her was enough to break his resolve.
