“A simple kiss is sweeter than any colorful dream.”
“Our first kiss was there on the bridge in the woods. How do you describe a first kiss? It is like trying to hold water in your hands.

An oath of allegiance taken in closer proximity, a promise more precise, a seal on a confession, a rose-red dot upon the letter i in loving; a secret which elects the mouth for ear; an instant of eternity murmuring like a bee; balmy communion with a flavor of flowers; a fashion of inhaling each other s hearts, and of tasting, on the brink of the lips, each other s soul!”

“I pushed her shiny blond hair away from her face and leaned down, our faces only inches apart. She inhaled softly, our lips so close I could feel her breath and the scent of her skin, like honeysuckle in springtime. She smelled like sweet tea and old books, like she had always been here. I pulled my fingers through her hair and held it at the back of her neck. Her skin was soft and warm, like a Mortal girl s. There was no electric current, no shocks. We could kiss for as long as we wanted. If we had a fight, there wouldn t be a flood or a hurricane, or even a storm. I wouldn t find her on the ceiling of her bedroom. No windows would shatter. No exams would catch fire. Liv held up her face to be kissed. She wanted me.”
