Chapter 493
Carolyn and Watson sat a little off to the side-close enough to see the way Allison's cheeks turned pink, and the
way Joshua looked at her.
His eyes were full of hope, and softer than Carolyn had ever seen. For a second, her heart squeezed so tight it
hurt.
She'd never seen Joshua look at anyone like that. There was so much affection in his eyes, it was almost
overwhelming.
"Allie, con, look at him! He's just waiting for you to kiss him," Brian joked, grinning wide. "Seriously, I've
never seen Joshua like this. Ever. Hahaha..."
Sabrina joined in, chanting, "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"
Olivia nudged Allison with her elbow, teasing, "Allie, how can you say no when he's basically asking for it?"
Everyone started laughing and cheering-everyone except Watson and Carolyn. Joshua was sitting right next to
Allison.
Allison blushed, looking a little flustered. But with everyone watching and egging her on, she gave a shy smile,
wrapped her arms around Joshua's neck, closed her eyes, and kissed him.
At that smoment, Carolyn looked down at the floor. It felt like someone had driven a knife straight into her
chest. The pain was sharp, making it hard to breathe.
She never imagined she'd one day see Joshua-always so cool and distant- kissing another woman in front of
everyone. And what's worse, he was the one who'd asked for it.
Carolyn stared blankly at the floor, her vision swimming. For a second, it felt like the ship itself was rocking
beneath her.

But the cruise was steady, the sea outside calm. The dizziness was all inside her.
Watson turned away, refusing to look at the couple. His face was blank, eyes dull, as he sipped his drink in
silence.
Allison had only planned to give Joshua a quick, barely-there kiss, just enough to get it over with.
But as soon as her lips touched his and she started to pull back, Joshua's hands slid to the back of her head,
holding her gently but firmly. Suddenly, he was the one leading the kiss-pulling her in, deepening it.
Their friends got even louder, cheering and laughing.
Allison's face was burning.
Joshua kissed her deeply, his lips moving against hers, his tongue tracing hers in
a way that made her heart race.
Allison could barely catch her breath.
At first, she was embarrassed—it
wasn't like they'd ever kissed in front of so many people before. But Joshia was all in, and his kiss was so
confident and warm that Allison soon forgot about everyone else.
Little by little, the laughter faded away. She forgot about the game, about the people watching, lost in the kiss,
tangled up with Joshua and not wanting to let go.
Nobody interrupted them.
When they finally pulled apart, both of them were a little out of breath.
Allison's lips were red and swollen, soft and shining.
Sabrina shot her a wink, grinning. "I knew tonight would be fun, but | wasn't expecting that kind of show!"
Allison rolled her eyes, trying to play it cool. "You're the worst, you know that?"
Watson's voice was cold as he cut in, "Let's get on with the next round."

open and Carolyn's friend Tessa

Carolyn shot her a look. "Don't start."
"What are you guys playing? Mind if | join?" Tessa dropped into the seat next to Carolyn.
