She had a will

"Well, no harm in trying, I guess." Leo said and slid his hand over Alice's neck.

"What is it?" She asked as she watched him close in on the distance.

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm going to kiss you."

Alice stared blankly at him. Was he trying to tell a joke, because it wasn't funny? But from the way he was acting... She glanced down at his hand tightening around her waist and glanced back at his face... He wasn't joking.

"Stay still," Leo said. "Just do it like you did with Mark. Maybe then you'd feel the plant again."

"I... I know, but..." Ah, to do it like she did with Mark, then he'd have to be very intense when kissing her. She didn't know if she would be able to do it, not now at least.

She didn't mind kissing but then she would end up looking flushed and out of breath. Plus, they kissed for quite a while and they didn't have that much time to spare.
