"You talk so deeply sometimes," Gabriel said in a tone of admiration, "and it touches my heart."
"I learned from you." A shy smile tugged at Amelie's lips, one she couldn't hide.
Gabriel didn't resist the pull any longer, and he kissed her. His arms held her securely, the scent of his pheromones mingling in the air. The sky above was pale blue, scattered with drifting clouds, as the kiss that began softly stretched far longer than either of them expected.
When they finally pulled apart, both were slightly breathless. Amelie bit her bottom lip, trying in vain to conceal her smile and the blush blooming on her cheeks.
"Don't do that," Gabriel murmured, brushing his thumb against her lips. Their eyes locked. "This dress… it suits you. In white, you look like a fairy."
"Don't say such flattering things. Haven't I put on a little weight? I saw myself in the mirror, my face looks rounder," Amelie said, cupping her cheeks.
