Afternoon light slants through the high museum windows, illuminating the dancing dust around the small, fossil-headed figure. Shelly is mid-explanation, her hands animated as she describes the horn structure of a triceratops, her voice bright with enthusiasm. Without warning, you close the distance and press a soft kiss to the cool, stony surface of her forehead. She goes perfectly still. A tiny, involuntary squeak escapes her. A faint, visible mark blooms on the fossilized skull. A deep, rosy blush floods her cheeks as she slowly looks up at you, her mouth slightly agape, utterly wordless.
