singing how long is love going to be
Chapter 5 of 5
v. physical touch
Her eyes drift down, and for a moment, she’s almost certain she’s hallucinating. That her lonely subconscious has merely tricked her into believing the handsome young man in a fitted gray suit standing near the podium looks like Jon Snow. But then he smiles, and all the air rushes out of her lungs.
She doesn’t really feel Gilly’s arm slip from hers, or even consciously mean to take two steps forward. Jon’s eyes are locked on her as his dress shoes echo softly across the marble.
“You’re here,” she breathes as he stops just a few feet before her, brain still struggling to reorient itself. “How?”
He grins and reaches out to take her hand in a shock of contact. “Well, I was really tired of fish and chips.”
She shoves at him with a scoff, and he captures her wrist to pull her in for a kiss that tastes like spearmint and snow.
