Thanks be to EBT.


I'm in a blind panic.

Because I want Ben to kiss me.

I want to kiss him.

But it's not that simple.

Because even though I haven't been with you in weeks, this thing with us isn't over. It isn't over in the sense that you and I haven't said it's done. And it needs to be 100% done before I can move forward.

Because I want to move forward.

Because I can't do to Ben what I've done to Bella.

Regardless of whether I do or don't kiss him, I'm making a decision. And it's not one that I can enter into lightly.

I need to analyze every point from every angle.

I need to do this the right way.

But I'm taking too long, and Ben's done waiting.

He leans in and kisses me.
