27.

I didn't realise until much, much later, just how much I enjoyed that kiss.

We were falling from the heavens, in each other's embrace, while our lips were joined together in an extremely long and loving kiss.

You pulled away first, but made sure that our foreheads were still touching.

Just when I was thinking that that night couldn't have gotten any better. . . you proved me wrong, in the best way possible. I was grinning ear to ear, probably the happiest I had ever been in my entire, pathetic life.

Your face had a look of melancholy which I couldn't understand. How was it possible that you looked so sad and upset, while I was uncharacteristically happy?

Before I could ask you what happened, everything went wrong.
