Because they were so close, their breaths intertwined.
Their embracing bodies were tightly nestled together under the warm spring night lights, and the beating of their hearts slowly synchronized.
A flower petal fell, landing on Olivia Parker's forehead, sliding down, pausing for a second on her long eyelashes, and then sticking to her lips, wet from his kiss.
His gaze followed the petal down, landing on her flushed lips, and Kasper Edith's breathing turned erratic.
His breath blew away the petal, but he ignored it as his hand holding her cheek subtly tightened.
"Let's go home!"
Grabbing her hand, he turned and started running.
Olivia chased after him, running forward through the rain of falling petals, the petals on the ground swept up by their urgent steps.
Pulling her to Martin Road, he stopped a taxi that happened to be arriving, got in with her, and Kasper Edith gave the address.
"Drive faster, I'll pay double."
