It felt to Maria as if time stood still as Henri's face slowly made its way towards her.
She watched as he stopped for a second before he closed his eyes, as well as the gap between them.
His gentle lips met hers and the slight pressure of them made Maria's heart flip in her chest as she felt her eyes flutter shut.
He pulled away for just a moment before his slightly open lips pressed against hers again, and his hands that had been cupping her face started to travel to the back of her neck and base of her head so that they could help her be able to tilt her face up slightly.
She leaned in towards him, completely in the moment, and placed her hands on his chest before they both worked together to deepen the kiss.
Maria felt those familiar butterflies bouncing around in her stomach.
Henri pulled away slowly after a long moment, and he opened his eyes to look at her as she opened her eyes to look up at him.
