A new beginning

The kiss was long and intense. When Michael finally pulled away, Anne was breathless.

"Now what do you think?" Michael asked, moving towards his side of the table. Anne's attempt to respond only resulted in uncontrolled stutters.

Feeling embarrassed, she looked away from Michael's gaze which made her flush uncontrollably as it bored into hers.

Mrs Smith walked in just then and was surprised to find them still on breakfast.

"Stop stalling, Anne, and get dressed already". She instructed. Anne noticed the seriousness in her mom and headed to her room without delay. She was grateful for the timely interruption, she had been confused moments ago, not sure how to respond to the kiss.
