Theme 26 – A suddenly remembered instant

The first time he kissed her, it was a total surprise.

One minute she was utterly focused on the driver in her hand, trying to coax a stubborn screw out of the casing in his arm and quite oblivious to how very blue her eyes looked when she was focused on a problem, and the strand of golden hair that had escaped her ponytail to fall across her face like sunlight, and the way her patient had been gazing at her for the last few minutes.

The next minute his arm shifted under her grip, and she opened her mouth to tell him to hold still, only to find the words never made it past the warm lips suddenly pressed to hers. All that came out was a tiny, muffled yelp of surprise, which melted into a soft sigh as she slid her arms around his neck.

The driver hit the floor with a clank, and it was quiet in the workshop for a long time.
