• I rise up on my tiptoes. He's already bending his head down, moving his lips toward mine. And then, well, I haven't exactly studied this, but I'm pretty sure that ours is not the most expert kiss in Sualan history.

Come to think of it, it doesn't really matter that ours is not the most expert kiss in Sualan history. It's still the best.
