I think it was the juxtaposition of in and outside. I think you can cut the word in and it still keeps it's meaning. <br /><br />Good job with the awkward kiss. The wiping the wetness from her mouth at the end definitely sealed the deal on the creep factor. <br /><br />Good Luck<br />Jamie (entry #3)Jamie Krakoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16808802721340647047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817405930079039333.post-24199853638426907892013-02-05T05:55:06.616-08:002013-02-05T05:55:06.616-08:00This was terribly cute!

Nailed it.<br /><br />Logistically speaking, I was a bit wondering what he was doing when he "tilted his head a couple of times for good measure." ? But I love how scientific Perrin has managed to make kissing in such a short period of time.
