"What are you doing?" I whispered.
I knew what I hoped he was doing, but I'd learnt to expect the unexpected. Like a fool, in the back of my mind I screamed, Kiss me. Kiss me. Please kiss me.
Before I knew what I was doing, my hand reached up to hold onto the lapel of his robe. He watched and his shoulders seemed to ease. Relief?
He bought our faces to almost meet. Inches away, his lips parted to say, "Something I wish I'd done a long time ago."
