“At first it was a bit uncomfortable standing outside my house with him – saying goodbye in person and saying goodbye on Skype are two very different scenarios – and we were more used to Skype. But finally Sebastian stepped forward and gently ran his finger down the side of my face, cupped my chin in his hand, and gave me that look. I nearly melted under his touch. He slowly ran his hands down my sides until they settled around my waist, then leaned into me and kissed me hard. This, I thought as I felt his lips move over mine, is what it should be like to be with someone – so much better than lots of wishful thinking over a cold computer screen. Even though I really, really liked Sebastian, I didn’t like how little time we spent together, and how that made both of us upset. Have you ever spent three months apart from the person you like? And is it possible to stay together with someone when you know that you’ll only ever get to see them for a few days every couple of months at best? I got depressed just thinking about it.”
