                                              She swung into his window again, just as promised. There was a smile on her face and shadows in her eyes.
"Hey."
"Hi."
"So...are you staying?"
"Maybe, or at least a little longer."
"You know....I kinda realized some things while you were gone."
She smirked. "Like what?"
His face flushed, " Like I really want to know what it's like to kiss you."
"Go ahead."
"W-what?"
"Kiss me."
She walked closer, close enough for him to see the little flecks in her eyes and the freckles dusting her nose.
He kissed her, she kissed him back. But if was short and hard and valuable, because she couldn't stay long and he couldn't let go.
