She took her sweet five minutes fantasizing about different 'pink' stuff after that simple backhand kiss and if not for the fact that I can practically read her thoughts just from her heartbeat, micro-movements, and this hand that has crushed mine a few times during her blackout, I wouldn't have known these depths of her… thoughts.
