Something about his apology got her brain out of the loop of thoughts and back in the moment.

The moment where he was waiting. For her.

Their first kiss that was not on film, that was...100% their choice, because they wanted to, with no string attached. No death waiting the next day, no political agenda.

Something about that might her feel so light, so giddy. And before her mind could pick it apart, she pushed herself up, pressing her lips to his.
