"Does it, now?" She leaned forward as if to kiss me, and , recoiled, panic rising like bile. Thank God I couldn't see her face properly, or I might've done something stupid- like carry her into the back room, bar the door, and kiss her for so long she forgot her inane plan to leave me. As it was, I kept my muscles locked, clenched, to prevent me from doing it anyway. She slumped back in her seat with disappointment.
"Right. I forgot you're still being an ass."
Now I wanted to kiss her for a different reason.
