Broken Hearts
““Ow!” they both said.
Melissa gave Luke a playful shove with both hands. “Don’t you ever take those glasses off?” she chided.
He laughed and pulled his glasses off. He gazed at her expectantly, waiting for another kiss. But Melissa surprised him by jumping to her feet.

“Huh? From Dave?” Luke reacted with surprise.
