I dance like a beached whale. I have never been kissed. I've also been called a mountain goat because I can bound up a rock wall like nobody's business.

"Did our kiss mean anything to you? I mean, if it didn't then I'll leave right now, but it sure as hell meant something to me." Cain confessed, as if fighting with himself as the rain pounded against his head, his hazel eyes glaring at her through the thick droplets which fell between them. "Cain...I-- ."
