It was that quick.

She leaned in and tilted her head to the side,

And we were kissing.

She tasted like cigarettes and Mountain Dew and wine and Chap Stick.

I felt her soft fingers tracing the line of my jaw.

She kissed me for another moment, my mouth straining to stay near hers.

She moved from beneath me, placed her head on my chest, and fell asleep instantly

As she slept, I whispered, "I love you, Alaska Young."
