Small Cruel Party

Kiss Anticipation

The morning she left he carried her bags to the little blue car she was going to spend the next four days in. She took the bags from him and put them carefully in the back seat next to her pillow, next to her notebook, next to her Madeline doll. He moved close behind her and, slipping one arm around her waist, kissed her perfumed black hair. When she turned around she was in his arms. She smiled, closed her eyes, waited for the kiss.
