As Khai drove Esme to Berkeley, he couldn’t get her confession out of his head. She wanted to kiss him. He wanted to kiss her back. But he couldn’t. You kissed a woman if you wanted to date her and have a relationship, if you wanted to love and be loved in return, if you could love. If you kissed a woman when you couldn’t deliver on the rest, you were an asshole. It was better to jack off in the shower.
