And then, the moment Ramona had been waiting for finally came. Popko moved closer, and Ramona felt her heart beat faster than ever.
4. The First Kiss Wasn’t Perfect
However, things didn’t go as Ramona had expected. Instead of a sweet, romantic kiss like in movies or books, Popko made things awkward and clumsy. He kissed Ramona’s cheek too quickly and without emotion, leaving her confused and disappointed.
