The Kiss
Their fingertips brushed lightly, tentative at first. Soon, their palms touched, and they took a careful step closer to each other. One took a deep breath, and the other did the same. Time seemed to slow, and the early morning light trickled through the open window, dancing playfully across their features.
"You're so beautiful," came the breathy whisper.
Together, they leaned in toward one another, slow and deliberate. At the last possible moment, their eyes fluttered shut. Lip met lip in a kiss so soft and brief that she almost thought it hadn't happened. It was like the gentle caress of a butterfly's wing. She leaned back slowly, letting out the breath she'd been holding. Her mouth quirked up at the corners into a satisfied smile, and her eyes opened lazily to meet the eyes opposite her.
"Just perfect," she said appreciatively. "As always."
Her smile turned smug, brilliant sapphire eyes sparkling, and the figure across from her mimicked the look. A quick flick of her hand moved her blond ponytail off her shoulder, and Chloe turned away from the mirror, ready to face the day.
