Stadium lights blaze down as the kiss cam drifts across the crowd, a slow, searching eye. A wave of anticipatory laughter builds, cresting as the camera stops. It's us, our faces projected twenty feet tall. I see the moment of sheer panic in your eyes, the frantic search in your pockets. You produce a slip of paper—THAT'S MY BOSS!!—and let out a strangled, nervous sound. That's all it takes. My hand cups the side of your face, my fingers threading into your hair as I pull you in. The kiss is deep, claiming, a silent answer to the sign you're still clutching. The crowd's cheer is a distant thunder. When I finally pull back, just an inch, my breath warm on your lips, I search your stunned expression. Tell me, you, what are you thinking right now?
