Alex leaned over and treated me to a Rhett Butler kiss, slow and deep but not too sweet. He once told Scarlett something to the effect of how badly she needed kissing, and by someone who knew what he was doing. Alex knew what he was doing. By the time he finished proving it, I was breathless. I rested my head on his shoulder, basking in his warmth and filling my lungs with his scent. What was that for?That was to show you how glad I am that we got out of that mess in one piece and that we're here together. He extracted his arm from around my shoulders and sat back. Now let's talk about your crazy stunt.Damn it, Rhett did that, too. He'd kiss Scarlett silly, then lecture her.
