"We have a lot of lost time to make up for, Rick," she interrupted, standing and walking over to me. Looking down into those infinite eyes, my already-racing heart decided now was a good time to try its first ever drum solo."Umm.""I resent anyone that gets in the way of that time, y'know?"

I'm heading to bed. G'night Rick." She stood on her tiptoes to kiss my cheek again, and that kiss lingered like you would not believe."G-goodnight, Ellie."Thoroughly confused, I went to bed.
