"I think I should be going." Beverly said with a small smile. Jean-Luc nodded and leaned in. She didn't hesitate and leaned in. Their lips met in a chaste kiss. As they parted, their lips were little more than an inch apart when he kissed her again. It only lasted a few seconds but it was not a platonic kiss shared between friends. When they finally parted, she stared at his lips for a moment then looked in his eyes. He smiled at her then looked down at their joined hands. Her hand was still on his chest.
"I enjoyed this evening." He said quietly. He hoped he understood her and the kiss wasn't the wrong move. She smiled at him then picked up her wine glass and stood. He sighed in relief then stood and walked to the door while she took her glass and set it on the dining table. She followed him to the door and stopped in front of him.
"Good night." She said and smiled at him as she had all evening.
"Good night." He returned her smile. After the door closed behind her, he smiled. He wouldn't sleep much tonight.
