The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1628

Adrian pursed his lips. "But I still want to go up and see for myself."

Lea wagged a finger in front of his face. "No can do. You only have two options right now. One is to let me go upstairs and check it out for you, or two, we both go back and nobody goes upstairs."
