“The Librarian liked being best man. You were allowed to kiss bridesmaids, and they weren't allowed to run away.”
“His mouth was hot and hungry, and he kissed the way no man should kiss and still be allowed to run free.”

“Outside of note passing and the occasional tight-lipped kiss after school events, "going together" in seventh grade was pretty meaningless.

“Man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild.”
