Mixed Emotions

The first time she kisses him, it is the day of their wedding, and he feels... stupid. Then angry, frustrated and finally; numb.

He's not sure why, exactly, and spends the next three weeks thinking about her soft lips and warm breath.

After the fourth sleepless night, she settles on one - cheated.
