Slowly, August leaned down and pressed his mouth to hers. She responded as if it was the most natural thing in the world and curled a hand around the back of his neck. The kiss was sweet and soft, chasing away all his thoughts like a warm summer breeze. He pulled away, kissed her lips lightly again, and said, “I love you.” And then, like the morning sun burning away a fog in his mind, he remembered everything.
