Adam and Eve
Based on the movie "Hawaii", starring Julie Andrews, Max von Sydow, and Richard Harris. I don't own a thing.

"Not when it drives the thought of God from my mind. I begin to feel that... that I am utterly depraved. I think of nothing but your loveliness, Jerusha," he said, feeling incredibly guilty for saying so.
"Is it possible for anything to seem lovely without God wanting it so?" she said, he played her trump card. She propped herself up on her elbow and slowly leaned down to kiss him. He responded passionately, almost violently, and rolled her onto her back as she wrapped her arms around his waist.
Later, as they lay in their narrow bed aboard the ship, Abner kissed her lightly.
"I love you, Jerusha," he whispered.
"I love you, too, Abner," she whispered. She even believed it was true.
