Why? Nervous?
Me
Definitely not
Zayne
We’re playing the lead roles, Dot. It’s only expected that we kiss a time or two
Me
Says who?
Zayne
Every storyteller since the beginning of time.
Me
Not true. Pretty sure Catherine and Heathcliff don’t even kiss in the novel.
Zayne
I thought you only read the summary.
Me
Exactly. There would have been a kiss mentioned in there somewhere.
Zayne
Not in a summary
Me
It was a really good summary. Extensive. Detailed.
Zayne
I’m sure
I pace back and forth in my room, eyes glued to our conversation. I must have drank too much coffee at brunch because my stomach feels jittery, obnoxiously restless.
Me
The point is that this scene won’t work for me
Zayne
If you’re worried about your first kiss being on stage, just say so.
My mouth falls open.
Me
Please. I’ve been kissed plenty of times.
Zayne
