Gwendolyn stopped crying for a moment, her brain struggling to process this new horrifying reality. "Wait . . . what?"
Reid adjusted his glasses again, warming up to the subject. "In fact, studies show that on average, a baby receives at least a hundred kisses a day from their parents and relatives. Multiply that by the first few years of your life, and you've already been kissed thousands of times before you could even form a coherent sentence."
Gwendolyn's jaw dropped. "Are you seriously saying that right now?"
"Precisely. So technically, Roman didn't steal your first kiss. He just happened to be the first person outside your family to do it. The real culprits are your mom and dad."
Gwendolyn gasped, looking genuinely disturbed. "Oh my god, Reid . . ."
"And if you have any aunts or grandmothers, they're probably accomplices."
