"I want to kiss you," she stated without preamble as she stared hard at him for several moments. Eventually she sighed softly in disappointment as she turned back onto her side and tugged the blankets over them both again.

"I wish you wanted to kiss me. I understand though. And...Squall..." she used his name, serious and as honest as possible without a hint of playfulness. "...Thank you. For everything."
