Is the kiss coming? Whatāand howāshould I write it?
Iāve known the scene for a long time now. Not since the very beginningābecause, honestly, I thought they would kiss much earlier. But they didnāt. They couldnāt. It became a huge thing in their relationship. Readers felt it too.
And so the kiss stayed suspended.
For about fifteen chapters, it has lived quietly in my head, growing more precise, more inevitable. Chapter after chapter, their relationship has deepened, shifted, burned slowly. No shortcuts. There were sparksāsudden, sharpābut never enough for them to be honest and brave. Oh, more likely, the sparks were so many and so strong that they were afraid to take one more step and discover that they were alone in their heads.
Either way, it's all about, all about tension, longing, shared losses, and all the unspoken things that build when two people orbit each other for too long.
But no kiss.
Now Dark Days and Lost Suns is in chapter 20 and the moment is finally close. [More or less].
I know exactly where it happens. I know the emotional weather of the scene, the weight theyāre carrying when it arrives. What I donāt know is how much I should reveal about it beforehand.
Because some moments deserve to be waited for.
So I wonāt tell you how the kiss will be. Or what it will mean. Not yet. Iāll write about it after. I promise.
