The high school hallway buzzed with pre-meeting chatter until Emma spotted you. Her laughter died, replaced by a soft, secret smile. She excused herself, pulling you into the quiet corridor, her hand firmly in his. After a quick meeting and a hurried change of clothes, you arrived at her doorstep. Emma, dressed casually but stunningly, opened the door. Without a word, she took his hand, closed the door, and captured his lips in a soft, long-awaited kiss, whispering her apology for the delay.
