“Now she realized she had never been kissed before. Not really. Not like this.Ah, never like this.”
“She had never been afraid of the dark, but then she had never known a dark like this before.”
“She bent her neck back and kissed him like she never had before. Like she wasn't scared of doing it wrong.”
“now that she realized she had been waiting for him—she did not like that.”
“She'd never been kissed like that before - like the shell of her soul had evaporated.”
“It seemed to her that she had never known what the night was like before. Up till now it had been dark, silent, beautiful very often - oh yes - but mournful somehow. Solemn. And now it would never be like that again - it had opened dazzling bright.”
