[Aubrey takes his face in her hands. It should startle him, at the very least, but it doesn't. Warm hands mold themselves to his cheekbones, and an electric thrill shivers up his spine, then spreads out warm in his chest. His face heats up under her hands, his face young and stunned.
[He pulls Aubrey against his chest, both arms wrapped tightly around her. He buries his nose in her pink hair. He breathes in her sent. His heart beat-beat-beat-beats, and, God, if they only could just stay here, if only things could be that simple.
[He doesn't notice himself kissing the top of her head. It's such a short, natural thing. It fits. It makes sense. It's what she needs.
[He closes his eyes. He doesn't move his face. He lets her cling, and cry, their bodies slowly beginning to rock in unison, seated there on the grass. He doesn't dare speak.
