Kiss me?
Emily was bold, daring, and brave. An odd characteristic to describe herself at that moment.
Usually, she was passive, cautious, and boring as she went through life on a daily basis. The only courageous thing she had done in her entire life was when she was forced to fight to stay alive. But she believed that didn't count since it was not courage but mere survival.
Tonight, Emily couldn't care less about consequences as she pulled him closer to her. Drawn by the warmth emanating from his body, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
Like a moth to a flame, she didn't mind if she got burned.
Brave? No.
Dumb, maybe, as she allowed her heart to rule her mind. To let love dictate her actions.
"Nolan..." She uttered his name, clinging to him as if he were her last lifeline.
Even for a fraction of a fleeting moment, she would like to indulge in this surge of excitement. Because only at this time, she could feel alive again.
