"Lurline? I know you're up there, making things great and all, answering prayers and helping the less fortunate, but I'm really confused." Galinda said to the starry sky. "I've recently started to like this guy. Well, not recently. It's been a while." She looked at the ground and back at the sky.
"When Fiyero left me for Elphaba, I forgot what love was. Love is forever, but I just recently remembered the definition of it. Could you possibly give me the strength to confess it? I know you're very busy, but it would help."
Galinda started to tear up again. "I just can't go on like this, never knowing the answer to the question I've had for what seems like forever."
Boq listened, and that last statement was forever engraved into his thoughts. He'd been asking that since day one.
Galinda started to cry, unable to finish her prayer. "Just give me a sign!" She wiped the tears off her face and stood up.
"Galinda?"
She gasped, startled by the voice she heard behind her. She turned around with her tear-stained face and stared like a deer in headlights.
Boq stared as well, looking at the beautiful mess in front of him.
He walked quickly to her, and out of the blue, kissed her right on the lips.
He pulled away gently from her hot, red face and gazed into her bright blue eyes.
Galinda did the same, feeling more confused than ever.
"I'm sorry I left." Boq looked down at the ground and back at Galinda. "I just... I couldn't say what I wanted to say."
Galinda listened.
"Every time I had told you how I felt before, it seemed as if you weren't listening, and I didn't want to humiliate myself again."
Galinda still listened.
Boq's eyes started to water. "I just couldn't fight that feeling."
Galinda looked at the ground. "You know... every time you told me how you felt, I did listen, but I was too stupid to convince myself that you were the most perfect person I had ever met. I didn't let your words go through my head, because I wanted Fiyero."
Boq couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"I never listened to myself. I was too caught up in the commotion that was Fiyero Tigulaar." Galinda sighed and looked up at Boq. "I've always had feelings for you, but it took me a whole year to figure it out."
Suddenly a tear rolled down Boq's face. He had never heard Galinda this serious about anything, and now she was pouring her heart out to him.
She wiped the tear off his face and smiled. "For the past week, we've been together and I'm just now figuring out how I feel about you. I... I... I feel so oblivious." She frowned at herself.
Boq hugged her tightly, tearing up once again. "I love you, Galinda."
She smiled at him with her red, watery eyes and started to cry. "I love you, too."
He kissed her again. And she kissed back.
