The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2656

Midway through the film, Ivy could even hear the sniffles from the girls in the back row. Her own eyes also welled up with tears. The audience's response was the ultimate accolade for an actor.

Watching the movie in its entirety, Ivy felt transported back in time, to when she was that girl waking up on a creaky out-of-town bed, in a world unknown. All she had to lean on was that foreigner.

Maybe there was love between them; maybe it was just her fear of being left behind.

Valor seemed to grow more attached, yet he had his own life, his own world. He didn't enjoy her constant clinginess.

In the sleepy fishing village, he relished their adventurous jaunts to the hills and the sea. But in the bustling city, Valor's stickiness became a burden.

They had been so in love when they first left the village, hands tightly clasped. But as time went on, their first argument erupted.

He couldn't understand why Valor always needed to know where he'd been and when he'd be back. He felt like he was losing his freedom.

If bringing Valor from that rundown village was a mistake, he wished to sever their ties right there.

Valor didn't understand what she'd done wrong. She just wanted to know when he'd return. Was that so wrong?

Alone in the rental, she desperately craved company. She missed her hometown, yearned to return to Aurora's side. But when she had resolutely decided to leave the village, she had also fallen out with Aurora.
