There was no question. There was a pause. But then he lifted his chin and she bent hers, and their lips met, soft. He closed his eyes but she did not, for a while; she concentrated hard on the curve of his features, and felt his breath quicken and shudder even under so gentle a caress. She drew back from him, pale and uncertain. He was equally white and drawn.
‘Is it alright?’ asked Althaer, uncertain. ‘I haven’t hurt you?’

I don’t go on FB very often. My blog posts get sent there, and that’s about it. It is a nice group, but occasionally, like with this issue, it is just talking about or complaining about WP 😉
