It was cold and the first thought Lauren had was how ill-prepared she was.
Actually, that wasn't the case at all. She was always prepared. Her personality demanded it. She just wasn't prepared for all the bad luck she had to encounter today. Her mind saw the difference.
First, her car broke down as she was driving home from a very messy break up fight that involved her now ex-girlfriend saying that they simply weren't compatible anymore. Lauren was pretty sure that equated to her wanting to date the TA that kept flirting with her in her English Lit class but she knew that would never be said. Even if she was sure she saw the TA's car outside the building when she left with the woman in the driver's seat trying desperately not to be seen.
Then she remembered she forgot to charge her cellphone and wasn't able to call for help when the engine of her old Ford Taurus started to smoke. Of course, it had to stop in a bad neighborhood so she didn't dare ask anyone if she could use one of their phones to call for a tow truck. Not that she had the money to fix the piece of junk anyway.
Her jacket was too thin, she really needed a hat because her ears felt like they might fall off and that was just the beginning of things that she should have thought of today. Lauren had been walking for an hour and it getting was getting dark. It made her nervous and she really hoped she could find a place soon where she could call someone.
She silently cursed the fact that her ex thought living in a less than safe area off campus made her more artistic.
"Hey, you got a dollar?"
Lauren tried not to sigh when she heard the voice off to the side. This had all the makings of the start of a very bad situation and it was the last thing she needed. She only had a small amount of money until she got paid from her student aid job and she tried hard not to use credit cards.
"Sorry, no," she said quietly and put her head down, avoiding eye contact.
There was movement off to her right side and suddenly a man stood in front of her, blocking her way. "Now that's not very polite." He clucked his tongue in a condescending way that made Lauren want to run quickly.
But she didn't. The man was much taller and generally larger than she was. He was dirty but looked warmer than her with his oversized hat and thick jacket. She knew she was about to get robbed. The day was turning from bad to dangerous fast.
"Empty your pockets. Now."
Lauren tried her best not to look afraid but she knew she was failing. "I don't have anything."
"You're lying," he said and took a step forward. "Give me everything now or I will drag you into that alley over there and make you wish you'd just given me your money."
She saw a quick flash of light and realized he had a knife in his hand. Quickly weighing her options, she figured giving him a useless cellphone that was out of date and dead along with the few dollars and change that totaled $14.57 probably wouldn't make him go away. It probably would only piss him off and she'd end up dying in the alley he'd just pointed toward anyway.
There were no good options and Lauren wanted to cry.
"I guess it's option B for you."
He reached out to grab her and Lauren's mind did what she never thought it would do: it shut down. She wasn't running. She wasn't fighting. All she managed to do was take a step back and that did nothing to deter him. Then she heard a voice.
"Hey! Get away from her!"
Lauren turned away from the mugger just in time to see someone running toward them. It barely registered with her how fast the person was running until she was being pushed over by the man before he ran down the street. A second later the person ran past her as she dropped to the sidewalk, likely with the purpose of catching the man had tried to take what little Lauren actually had at the moment.
She was a little dazed by everything because the next thing she knew there was someone kneeling in front of her. At that moment she realized the person who chased the mugger away was a woman, though much of her features were hidden. She wore a black baseball hat that hid her hair and sunglasses that looked out of place since it was too dark out now for them to be of any use. Black boots, blue jeans and a leather jacket made it look as though she was too good for the rundown area Lauren had been walking through. None of that mattered though. Lauren was just thankful she was there.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah." Lauren nodded. "I didn't give him anything. My car broke down and my phone's dead. I was just trying to find somewhere I can call someone."
The woman nodded. "Take a right at the corner and there's a coffee shop about three blocks away. They'll let you use their phone as long as you buy a cup of coffee." She reached into her pocket and pulled out two twenties. "Here, you look like you could use this. You know, for a cab to get home if you can't get ahold of someone."
Lauren thought for a moment before taking the money. "Thanks . . . for everything."
She helped Lauren get to her feet. "No problem. That moron went the other way so he shouldn't bother you. I'd walk with you but I'm late for an appointment. Will you be okay?"
"Yeah," Lauren said and looked at her, trying to see more of the intriguing woman. "How can I pay you back?"
"Don't worry about it," she said easily and took a couple steps away from Lauren. "Just get to where you're going, okay?"
Lauren nodded and the woman walked away quickly back the way she came. It was tempting to watch her leave but she wanted to get out of the area and just go home. She shoved her hands in her pockets and nearly ran in the direction she was told.
She just wanted to forget the day ever existed.
** Eight years later **
It was something Lauren had never done before, going on vacation for Christmas. There had always been someplace to go. There was family or friends or that odd year she spent with her neighbor and the woman's five cats. There had always been a place to go.
This was the first year of what Lauren called a new beginning. Her father had died five years ago and her mother a year later. She wasn't close to any other relatives so she never went to their homes for the holiday and she was an only child. A couple times an aunt or cousin had invited her but she thought it would be too awkward and politely turned them down.
The thought of spending it with friends was the furthest from her mind. Less than a year ago she'd been offered a position at hospital doing general surgery. It paid well but it meant moving clear across the country, something she had to think twice about. She had developed good relationships at the hospital she worked at and had a few close friends. Leaving them wasn't easy but in the end she knew it was better to start fresh and her friends agreed, only wishing her well and saying they'd visit.
As far as dating went, Lauren could only laugh to herself any time she'd thought of it. She had a couple disastrous relationships that took her through her undergraduate years and after that she was a little turned off by the whole idea. Given her work schedule at the hospital, she tended to lean toward more casual dating. One of her friends told her she was simply afraid of getting burned again, which was probably true. Lauren just didn't want to think about that.
Instead, she decided to skip Christmas and finding someone to spend it with and go somewhere warm and sunny, maybe work on her tan a little. The long hours at the hospital had made her pale and her coworkers joked that maybe they wouldn't even recognize her if she came back with a little sun. So she researched and found the easiest place to go would be spend a few days in the Florida Keys. Thanks to her new job she was able to book a nice resort that looked relaxing. It even had "tranquility" in its name so she hoped staying at Tranquility Bay would leave her rested and rejuvenated.
"Excuse me, can I get your name?"
Lauren blinked and shook her current thoughts out of her head as she focused her attention on the overly happy woman at the front desk. "Ah, yes, hi. Reservation should be under Lauren Lewis."
The bleached-blonde, petite woman that had her uniform showing just enough cleavage as to be distracting smiled and looked down at her computer screen. "Ms. Lewis, I see your reservation right here. You're with us for five days at one of our beach houses." She printed out a couple sheets of paper and placed them in front of Lauren. "I'll need you to sign here and initial here and here." She paused as she handed Lauren a pen. "Now, there are brochures for the activities we offer and the hours of the bars and dining areas in your beach house but if you need anything we're here to help."
Lauren put the pen down and let a small smile show. "Thank you." She thought about adding that she just wanted to be left alone while she was here, hence the extra expense to rent a beach house, so she wouldn't need the activities pitch. The comment wasn't really needed though so she simply collected the keys and walked out into the sunny early afternoon.
That was the purpose of the trip, to be alone but to at least be in a beautiful location while she was. She figured she could read a book, one of those great science fiction novels she'd been putting off instead of her normal medical journals, while lounging in a chair that looked out toward the ocean. There might even be a Corona or two in the mix. All in all, she just wanted to forget everything for a few days so she could go back to the real world relaxed.
Putting on her aviators, her smile got a little wider as she walked toward the place that would be home for the next five days.
The first day was wonderful.
For the first time in a long time, Lauren had a full night's sleep. It was peaceful and uninterrupted. She wasn't on call and didn't have to stay awake for hours and even days on end. The bed in the master bedroom of the beach house was more comfortable than her bed at home. It seemed to mold to her body in a way that made her want to take it home with her.
Lauren had rented a car just in case she wanted to explore the area so she had been able to stock the kitchen as she settled in. That meant when she woke up in the morning she could still develop a routine. Even though she was on vacation, her OCD tendencies were still present and it just wasn't in her to completely change everything she did. So when she woke up from the most restful sleep ever she showered then settled down at the kitchen table with a glass of orange juice and some fresh fruit.
She looked over a couple of the brochures that had been waiting for her when she first arrived and wondered what would happen if she actually tried any of them. The thought of taking aquatic yoga on her vacation with a bunch of strangers didn't exactly appeal to her. Since she was alone noisy people would ask why and then claim to know the solution to all her problems. That was not something Lauren was interested in.
Keeping it simple was the key. Lauren decided that after breakfast she would just find an empty and hopefully relatively secluded chair outside where she could relax with her book. She grabbed a towel, her book and a bottle of water before walking out of the house and onto the beach. It was mid-morning and it was still cool out so Lauren decided an outfit of scandals, tan capris and a white long-sleeved shirt over her light blue bikini top would be best since she knew it would get warmer later. Her sunglasses stayed on, too, since there wasn't a cloud in the sky.
Thankfully, there were a couple empty chairs near the front door of the beach house so she didn't have to go far. She sat down and placed her book on the other chair as she got situated. As she looked around she noticed there were plenty of people around but the area was open enough that she could easily be off on her own. That fact alone made her smile as she placed her things next to the chair she sat in and reached out to pick up her book.
As she began to read she wondered why she hadn't done anything like this before. She had always thought she didn't have the time but she had even thought that when she booked this resort. Of course, up until a couple of years ago she would have never been able to afford a place like this but the combination of her thrifty nature and her new job made it possible now.
"Is this seat taken?"
Lauren closed her eyes behind her glasses and let out a sigh. She put her book down and looked up at the woman who had asked her the question, wanting to politely tell her that she wanted to be left alone but stopped short. Instead, she was taken aback by how beautiful the other woman was. Her dark brown hair was pulled back and she wore minimal makeup, sunglasses hiding part of her face. As Lauren let her eyes travel lower, thankful she had her own sunglasses on, she took in her body, the black bikini top and towel she had draped around her waist accentuated her curves.
It didn't even occur to her that she hadn't spoken yet until the woman said something again. "Please? I tried getting a little sun by the pool but a couple of guys wouldn't let it go. I should have never said I was alone." She paused. "Look, just until whoever you're with comes back."
"I'm not with anyone either," Lauren said, finally finding her voice. "So no one's sitting there."
"So, can I?"
Lauren thought about it for a moment before gesturing for her to sit down. The woman smiled and sat down, pushing her sunglasses off her face to sit atop her head. "Thanks. My name's Bo, by the way."
Bo extended her hand and Lauren shook it lightly. "Lauren."
"Relieved to meet you," she said, dazzling Lauren with her smile. "Do not go to the pool and try to get a moment to yourself. It won't happen. I saw a couple big families at breakfast and I bet they'll be at the pool soon."
"I didn't really come here for that."
Bo smiled and put her sunglasses back on before leaning back and looking as though she was about to take a nap. Lauren observed her for a couple more seconds before going back to her book. That was something she was only able to do for a few minutes before the mere presence of Bo was distracting. She hadn't been near someone so attractive in a long time.
When she was working that was something she never noticed. Lauren had a one track mind at the hospital, always preoccupied with the science around her. She didn't take note if a coworker or patient was attractive because that wasn't what she was there to observe. Instead, she only wanted to cure people, help them in any way she could. Her personal wants or feelings stayed separate, something not shown to anyone at the hospital.
Being around this new woman, Bo, brought up feelings Lauren hadn't had in a long time. Since moving, she hadn't even thought about going on a date, much less had been on one. Now that she didn't have work on her mind the fact that she hadn't had sex in over a year was definitely something she was thinking about.
"Can I ask you a question?"
Lauren looked up from her book and turned her head to Bo. "What?"
"Why are you here by yourself?"
"I could ask you the same question," Lauren responded with, not knowing if she should start having a conversation with a woman she didn't know, no matter how attracted she was to her.
"I'm here because I won what was supposed to be an exciting Christmas trip but when I went to tell my boyfriend I found him fucking one of his coworkers. He thought we could use this trip to reconnect because oddly enough I wasn't speaking to him. I told him to go fuck himself and that I was going alone." She let out a breath. "Which is why I'm spending the next few days in a nice room at the main resort building. What about you?"
"I work too much," Lauren started with. "I never go on vacation either. But I recently moved to a new city where I don't know anyone and I don't have anyone to spend Christmas with. Someone suggested I go someplace nice for the holiday. Get a little sun and relax. I guess I can be a little uptight."
Bo smiled and Lauren felt her heart begin to race slightly. "I don't see you as being uptight."
Lauren get out a quiet chuckle. "No offense but you don't even know me."
"No, I have a good sense about reading people. I bet you can be a lot of fun." She sat up a little and turned her full attention to Lauren. "How about we get a drink?"
"I didn't exactly come here to socialize," Lauren said, torn on getting a drink with the beautiful woman or kindly tell her that she just wanted to be left alone with her book.
"I'm not asking you to go on one of those tours with all those people who want to learn something while they're on vacation. I'm just asking of you want to take a break from sitting here to go sit in the bar and grab one of those fruity concoctions that are in the pictures of the brochures."
"I've never really been a fan of those," Lauren claimed, "and learning while on vacation can be fun. It can add a little excitement to know you're at a place where great things once happened."
Bo grinned at the comment. "That's kind of adorable." She let out a quiet chuckle. "I think that meeting you is going to be a highlight of my vacation. Now let's get that drink."
Lauren thought about it for a minute and came up with something better, especially given she had zero interest in going to the resort bar. "I have a better idea."
"Lauren, you have to tell me what you do." Bo looked around as they sat in the small living room of the beach house. "The only reason I'm here is because I won it in a contest. I could never afford to actually stay here much less have a whole beach house to myself."
Lauren took a sip from the bottle of Corona and considered the question before deciding to ask one of her own. "What do you do?"
"Lots of things," Bo said vaguely. "Right now I work in private security but I would like to do something else."
"Like what?"
"Anything else really," Bo said as she grabbed her own bottle off the coffee table. "What I do right now is so boring. Nice try trying to avoid the question."
"I'm not avoiding the question," Lauren claimed but knew she was in a way. It wasn't that she didn't want to talk about herself. She just wasn't used to it. "I'm a doctor."
"That explains it."
"Explains what?"
"How you can afford this place," Bo waved her arm to gesture to the room, "and how you come across as caring and well, nice. Like you could never intentionally hurt someone."
"I'm sure I could name a couple people who would disagree with you," Lauren said quietly. She was having a hard time looking into Bo's eyes. They were so expressive that she thought she might get lost in them and that couldn't happen. She barely knew the woman and she wanted to keep her guard up even if Bo seemed to cause no threat.
"Broken hearts, huh? I get it."
Lauren laughed and finished her Corona. "I see you as more of a breaker of hearts than me."
"I'm not sure if I should be offended or not," Bo said as she laughed.
"Oh, it's a compliment." Lauren looked at the clock on the wall and realized they had been talking for a couple hours and it was well past noon. "Um, are you hungry? I'm not sure what you were going to do for lunch but . . ."
"I have a couple vouchers up in my room," Bo said easily. "The food isn't that bad." She paused before looking at Lauren with a sweet expression on her face. "Would you like to join me?"
"Actually, I was thinking if you didn't mind me cooking that I could make something here. I bought some food after I checked in yesterday since there's a kitchen and I didn't really want to socialize." She smiled nervously, feeling like she was asking Bo out on a lunch date even though that didn't fit the situation at all. "I could always make enough for two."
Bo grinned and moved a little closer to Lauren on the couch. "Are we talking a five course meal or making an extra peanut butter sandwich?"
"Well, I do make a mean peanut butter sandwich," Lauren commented as she let a smirk show, "but I was thinking more like tacos. Or I can put together a salad?"
"That'd be great."
Lauren smiled as she looked at Bo, her heart skipping a beat in the process, something she had never thought had happened to her before. She knew how the heart worked and she was always of the opinion that looking at someone really had no effect on it. That seemed to change now because of how Bo was looking at her right now, like someone who was attracted and interested in her.
She stood and walked over to the kitchen, looking over the contents and trying to not think about Bo in any other way than as a possible friend. The other woman could make her vacation a little less lonely.
"She had a boyfriend," she mumbled to herself as she started pull items out of the fridge.
Lauren couldn't believe Bo had been hanging out at her beach house the entire day. But she had and showed no signs of leaving. The sun was low in the sky and Lauren began to think about what she would be making for dinner. At this point is automatically assumed Bo would be staying.
She had enjoyed the other woman's company for the day and Lauren couldn't believe how much she had missed someone being genuinely interested in what she had to say. She was sure Bo was, too. She kept asking her questions and telling little stories that added on to what Lauren was saying. Bo even shared her own stories about some of the random jobs she had and why she hated them all. There was a story or two about her past boyfriend, too, but all of them were why she broke up with them.
"So what about you?" Bo asked as she sat on the couch, turning her body to make sure she faced Lauren as she sat next to her. "No special someone?"
"There were a couple that kind of bit me in the ass," Lauren said quietly. "Once I was done with med school and working all the time it became impossible to really date anyone."
"What, no shenanigans in the on call rooms?"
"Not with me," Lauren said as she smiled at Bo. They had drank all of Lauren's booze and she was definitely feeling the buzz. "When I'm at the hospital all I want to do is help people. I really didn't think about sneaking off to get off while one of my patients could be dying."
Bo reached out and placed a hand on Lauren's shoulder before letting her fingers run down her arm. "You really are a good person, Lauren."
Lauren smiled for a second before feeling her body begin to freeze as Bo inched closer to her. She felt an insane attraction to the other woman and it had only grown throughout the day. If she weren't normally so bad at reading signals she would be sure that the feeling was mutual.
"Bo . . ."
"Just let me try something," Bo mumbled before leaning in and lightly pressing her lips against Lauren's.
Her lips were so soft that Lauren had no choice but to respond. Her eyes automatically closed and she leaned toward Bo, wanting to get as close as possible without embracing her. She wasn't quite sure what was going on but she knew that she was happy Bo had taken a step she knew she would never have the guts to take. Lauren knew she would have never been that forward or take that kind of chance.
It was only a few seconds before they parted and Lauren opened her eyes to see Bo looking at her expectantly. "I'm sorry. I just had to try it."
"Why?"
"I'm not sure," Bo said quietly. "It's just, you're so amazing and I feel so connected to you. Do you feel it, too? 'Cause I sure just felt something when I kissed you."
Lauren looked at Bo and knew she felt the attraction, too. There was a part of her that told her to back off, that this was destined for failure because in a few days she would be going back to her real life, but the rest of her wanted Bo in the worst way. Her body was on fire from the kiss and she wanted to do it again so she leaned in and lightly kissed Bo on the lips.
"I'm definitely feeling something."
Bo gave her a toothy grin as moved away from each other, something that made Lauren go a little weak at the knees. "I know there's a logical part of you that's saying nothing good will come from that kiss we just shared. What I'm asking is that you ignore it. I really want you to be the highlight of this vacation, Lauren."
Even without going any further Lauren knew that meeting Bo would be the highlight of her vacation. It had been a long time since she had let her guard down and was able to be herself completely with someone. She hadn't met anyone where she now lived yet and before that there were only a couple people who could claim they knew what Lauren Lewis was like when she wasn't shy and professional. Though she wasn't sure why she let Bo in so easily, she had and there was no going back from that.
There was one thought that stuck in her head, something she knew she had to ask about. "Bo . . . have you ever . . ."
For the first time Lauren thought Bo might look a little nervous as she shook her head lightly. "I've thought about it once or twice but seeing you today, Lauren . . . while I don't have experience in that area I know my body and I really want to get to know yours."
Lauren laughed quietly at the comment. There was a small voice in her head telling her that she would regret this when it was time to leave the resort and leave Bo behind but the rest of her was screaming to get Bo naked and fast. It was her chance to do something unlike her and throw caution to the wind, something her friends had been telling her to do for years.
She closed the short distance between her and Bo, placing her hands lightly on her arms. As she looked into the other woman's eyes, she knew this was the right choice. At the moment, it even felt like the only choice. "I'd really like that."
Just like that Bo was kissing her again but this time it was less tentative and more intense. Lauren wrapped her arms around Bo's waist while she felt Bo's hands cup her face then inch their way down. The kiss escalated quickly, Lauren deepening at first chance, and the next thought in her head was that they should move toward the bedroom. Bo's hands were gaining confidence since after only a minute or two of kissing they were roaming her body freely.
She had said she wanted to get to know Lauren's body and as she let her own hands move along Bo's back, she knew she wanted the same with her.
They broke apart and Lauren quickly found the confidence she felt she had been missing lately when it came to sex. She took Bo's hand and grinned. "The bed in this place is amazing."
Bo's grin matched Lauren's at the remark. "Really?"
"Yep."
"Well, then I think you better show me so I can judge if it's better than the one in my room."
Lauren didn't respond, only lend Bo back to the bedroom.
Her vacation just flew by and Lauren supposed that was a good thing, especially with how much fun she had been having.
Lauren had made many discoveries but the first and most important was that Bo was a fantastic lover. Even though she didn't have experience with the fairer sex, it didn't really show. Lauren let her take her time and explore her body like she wanted and by the end of their first time together Lauren saw stars.
The whole first night was filled with cries of pleasure and Lauren finding out all of Bo's spots, the ones that made her scream out her name. Bo even found a few on Lauren's body that she wasn't aware of and that only proved that the other woman was more than just a quick study. By the time they succumbed to sleep Lauren was exhausted but very satisfied.
She half expected Bo to be gone in the morning but Lauren woke up to Bo smiling at her happily, asking her what she wanted for breakfast and if she wanted to join her in the shower. The answer was yes, of course, and that led to a day of clothing optional activities. It had been a long time since Lauren spent a day either eating, sleeping or having sex but it was something she realized she missed.
On Christmas morning instead of exchanging gifts they exchanged orgasms. That's how Bo wanted to describe it anyway and Lauren had to agree. It was a really good orgasm, too.
The sad part came as Lauren woke up to her last day at the resort. Bo had practically moved into the beach house so just like the last few days she woke up to the other woman smiling at her, her hand moving over her body lightly. She leaned in and gave Lauren a soft kiss on the lips, only letting it last a few seconds before moving away.
"I don't know how I'm always awake before you. You said you were an early riser."
"Well, someone has been exhausting me so I need a little extra sleep. And maybe a little extra energy. We should get brunch at the resort restaurant."
Bo smiled and rested her head on a pillow next to Lauren's. "We're out of food, aren't we?"
Lauren nodded. "And my flight is this afternoon."
It felt like a bubble burst the moment she said it but it had to be done. She couldn't extend her vacation since she was due back at the hospital 36 hours after her flight landed. It wasn't like she was going to drop her life for someone she just met. Both of them had been vague on where they lived almost to make it so they couldn't get attached.
This was only supposed to be a fun vacation fling but it was turning into something else. Lauren didn't know what to make of it. When she invited Bo into her bed she made herself a silent promise that it would simply be a fun few days. Now thoughts of breaking that promise filled her mind.
Bo's hand cupped her cheek and they looked at each other. "We still have a few hours, right? Let's shower and get you packed up and ready to go."
"Yeah," was all Lauren could think to say. She sat up and got out of bed, pulling Bo with her toward the bathroom so she could have one last really fun shower.
Goodbyes were horrible.
They got Lauren all packed up into her rental car then checked out of the beach house. Bo finally used the vouchers she had received with her free trip and they had a quiet brunch at the resort's restaurant. The conversation was filled with Bo wondering what she was going to do on her last day at the resort and if she should dare try one of the activities before she left.
"I bet it would be fun," Lauren said as they walked toward her car. She was trying to avoid the goodbye she knew was coming but the sinking feeling she had was getting worse and it wasn't going away.
"I am not going on an adventure tour, especially not with a bunch of elderly couples that will want my life story," Bo said. "Maybe I'll just stay in my room and read a book."
They reached the car much too soon and Lauren stopped, turning her body to face Bo. "I don't even know your last name."
Bo smiled sadly. "I thought we weren't going to do this. Weren't we just going to have some fun? Which I totally did, by the way."
Lauren laughed. "I did, too."
They looked at each other for what felt like an eternity to Lauren before Bo pulled her into a tight hug. Lauren willed herself not to cry and didn't like that she was having such a reaction from someone she only met a few days ago.
"If we are supposed to see each other again, we will," Bo said quietly. "But you have your own important life that you have to get back to and I have my own, too." She leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips. "You'll just have to start taking more vacations. Maybe not expensive ones though."
Lauren kissed her back and let out a quiet laugh. "I'll keep that in mind." She paused as she stared into Bo's beautiful, brown eyes. "This was the best vacation I've ever had."
"Hell, this is the best Christmas I've ever had. I got a fantastic gift."
"I am a great gift-giver," Lauren said as she continued to laugh. She moved away from Bo, forcing herself to do so in order to make sure she had plenty of time to make her flight. "My name is Lauren Lewis."
Bo grinned. "Bo Dennis." She stopped Lauren from moving too far, pulling her back in order to give her one last, heart-stopping kiss. When she pulled away, she was still grinning. "I hope I see you again."
"I do, too."
