“...'Goose girl, may I kiss you?' She answered by... kissing him first.”
“I, Geric-Sinath of Gerhard, declare that you're beautiful and you're perfect and I'll slay any man who tries to take you from my side. Goose girl, may I kiss you?”
“Kiss him! Kiss him, you foolish girl!” She heard Amber yelling in her mind.”
“Then she kissed him. Her kiss was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.”
“The kiss. The kiss. The kiss. It was chocolate cake and fizzy passion and goose bumps. No one had ever kissed me like that.”
“She answered by standing and kissing him first and held his cheeks and closed her eyes and felt sure as bones and deep as blood that she had found her place.”
