I reached into my purse for my keys and they dangled and jangled in my hand. Unlocking my car door, I opened it wide and stared inside."It was a pleasure meeting you, Miss Tanner," Lucent said. "Everything seems in order. I'll be leaving now. I appreciate you housing me in your library during the blizzard. Thank you."He nodded, bowing slightly, and turned to walk away."Lucent," I said.He turned back, tilting his head to the side. "Yes?""Will you kiss me goodbye?"He frowned and muttered. "Miss Tanner..."I wasn't about to deal with him like this. I didn't know why he felt the need to be the way he was right now, but I disliked it. To get my point across, I swiftly closed the distance between us and wrapped my arms around him, holding him close. Pushing myself up on my tiptoes, I touched my nose to the end of his chin. If I had heels on, I could've kissed him fine on my own, but in my boots I couldn't quite reach.Lucent watched me, looking at me with deep, observant eyes. What did he see in me, I wondered? What was he seeing right now? An obsessive, strange woman who wanted him to kiss her in the middle of the day in a snowed-in parking lot, probably. I was that, and I didn't even care.He embraced me, squeezing me close, then lowered his head to kiss me. I expected something soft, more formal, and chaste, but Lucent exceeded my expectations. He pressed his lips against mine, firm and demanding. Desirous, needy, I kissed him back, hard. I closed my eyes and held him tight and hoped he never let me go.He did, though. He did release me, but not before I felt all of him. His emotions and feelings, a sorrow and longing, yearning, passion, maybe a little obsession of his own. Attraction and compelling temptation, all of it. He did like me. A person couldn't kiss like that if they didn't like the other person, and so I just knew Lucent must like me, but then... why? Why were we leaving each other?The message, I reminded myself. My phone. I still needed to listen to it once I got home."Goodbye, Miss Tanner," he said. His eyes gleamed, quietly sad.I smiled at him and squeezed his hands in mine.
