`Kiss me beneath the milky twilight

Lead me out on the moonlit floor

Lift your open hand, strike up the band

And make the fireflies dance, silver moon sparkling

So kiss me

She looked so pitiful standing there, tears streaming down her face, alone, lonely and confused. Both her and Kevin had asked him to help them, he couldn't quite wrap his head around Kevin asking him for help, he had even recognized that he and Penelope had something. He referred to him as her boo, and she his baby girl the fact he even knew that surprised him. He wanted to keep his distance from the whole situation, he didn't want to be drawn into it and influence any decisions; but he couldn't abandon her too. His heart hurt at the site of her, he hated when she was sad, when she was hurting and this time it was big, he knew that. He wasn't sure want exactly went down, but by the look of her, it was not in her favor.

He fought with himself, he didn't know if he should go to her or just let her alone. The ache in his heart eventually won and he went to comfort her like he had so many times before. He couldn't leave her alone, there may be a time when he needsedher as much as she needed him right now.

He pulled her into his arms and kissed her softly on the head, "hey, shhhh, baby you will be ok." She cried into his shirt. "Let it out, I'm here, I'm not going anywhere."

"I'm so sorry...I am so sorry," she kept crying.

She shook as she cried and he pulled her tighter. "Let me take you home," he said softly.

It was still moonlit when they walked to the truck, in spite of the obvious puffiness from the crying, she looked beautiful in the milky twilight. It was if he couldn't help himself, he lightly kissed her lips and then promptly pulled away.

"I'm so sorry baby girl."

She tipped her head and looked at him, "so...kiss me...I grant you permission."

Shocked, he didn't know what to do. He leaned in and kissed her again, just like she asked. It was magical, fireflies danced and the moon sparkled in the distance.

She broke from the kiss breathless. "Take me home," she smiled.

"That's my baby girl, are we going to your place or mine?"

She looked at him seductively, "That depends, what is it you intend to do?"

"Nothing you don't want to do, but as far as I am concerned, the options are limitless," he grinned.

"Well in that case, we better go to your place, Kevin still has a key to mine."

With that he drove to his place, there were butterflies in his chest, he felt like he was dancing on air, he was certain that if his was what love felt like, he never wanted it to end.
