The lesson isn't over yet!

'What part did I skip? How the heck did we get here?!'

How did we go from being amazed by Claire's recent breakthrough to the theory that allowed it to her straddling my lap yet again?

And what was this rather intense look in her eyes as she cradled my head between her hands, keeping my face at just the right angle for her to kiss me?

Yet, as the two of us breathed into each other faces... the crazed look on the girl's face slowly started to fade away, faltering just a tiny little bit with every shake of her chest indicating a single instance of her breath. 

"Haaa...." Claire exhaled heavily, only for her hands to slide off my cheeks and then down to my shoulders. Next, her head collapsed down, falling forward only to then rest against my forehead as her labored breathing continued. 

And then, when she finally appeared to have regained her senses...

"How..." she whispered, her lips just an inch away from mine.
