Now he was right in front of me. â€œEspecially,â€ I said significantly, looking up at him, â€œfrom talking. Thatâ€™s what I especially need a day off from. Talking.â€ â€œFine,â€ he said. He reached up and cupped my face in both his hands. â€œWe donâ€™t have to talk.â€And thatâ€™s when he kissed me. On the lips."

As I said in another answer I have an RC50 but haven't fired it up yet. On paper it looks great.”
“No one will do for you what you need to do for yourself. We cannot afford to be separate. We have to see that all of us are in the same boat.”
