In the dark, one kiss for luck. One kiss for goodbye. One kiss never again spoken of, where fire and water finally met. One kiss that had been burning in the brain of one of the B.P.R.D.'s only remaining agents.
Abe Sapien lay in his bed, staring at the ceiling. What was left for him now? His best friend and the woman he loved had left, leaving him in a place be barely knew anymore. The worst part was, before Liz had disappeared she had given Abe a kiss. It was this kiss that kept him up at night questioning everything. What did she mean by it? Under normal circumstances he would have assumed it was a friendly gesture, but it seemed to be more than that. There was a warmth there, a tender passion... and a distinct possibility that it was all in his mind and she was simply saying goodbye.
Abe rolled over and buried his face in his pillow. Even if he could see Liz he wouldn't be able to ask her about it, he'd be too nervous. So instead he laid there, one kiss driving him crazy.
